∼FUNERAL SERVICES FOR E. D. ACTON
The funeral of E. D. ACTON, whose sudden death was reported last week, was held Saturday afternoon at the Congregational church in Steamboat Springs many friends of Mr. ACTON being in attendance. Music was provided by a mixed quartet consisting of J. A. Brobeck, Mrs. E. H. Zimmerman, Miss Dee Stukey and Murray Payne with Miss Wood at the piano. Rev. H. C. Payne, the pastor, chose 2 Cor. 5 as the basis of the funeral message. He dwelt on the certainty of the resurrection of the body for all men; upon the fact that faith in Christ guarantees an instantaneous change of the old inflicted earthly body into a new body "like unto His Glorious body," a body "not made with hands eternal in the heavens;" upon the fact that this change comes "when Jesus comes to reward His servants" and that may be at any moment both for the living and the dead; that it is better to be "absent from the body" for a time through death, and "present with the Lord;" that it is the part of wisdom to make it our aim, in view of all these things, to accept Him who "was made sin for us," and to live "well pleasing unto Him."
The remains were laid to rest by the side of those of Mrs. ACTON in the Steamboat cemetery.
Erman De Los ACTON was born November 13, 1873, at Albion, Indiana. His father was Levi Walter ACTON, now of Wakefield, Nebraska, who survives him. The family lived at Albion until Erman was 10 years of age, when they removed to Wakefield. Here he grew to manhood, becoming a station agent for the C. and N. W. railroad. He married Miss Mollie LASH and in 1904 came to Steamboat, largely on account of his wife's health. Here he engaged in banking in the First National bank with M. S. Merril. Here also his wife died in 1908, leaving two children, Cecil and Mabel (Mrs. Gilbert BISHOP). The daughter thereafter made her home with the family of Elmer BAER and Mr. ACTON again engaged in railroad work and mining. He removed to Oak Creek in 1914 as a railroad agent. Later he became assistant to the postmaster and in 1922 was appointed postmaster, which position he held until his untimely death, November 11, 1930, of heart failure.
The sympathy of everyone goes out to the children left in sorrow and to the aged father to whom the son was ever a support and comfort.
