Lawrence Acker was born in Baden, Germany, in 1855 and passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carrie Mabry, May 28, 1944.
Mr. Acker, who was the youngest in a family of nine children, became an orphan in infancy. He came to America when only ten years of age and became a naturalized citizen. He lived for 61 years on the same farm where he died.
He was married March 24, 1881 to Mary Ann Snyder, who died June 14, 1931. His only son also preceded him in death on December 27, 1926. His only granddaughter, Ruby Pearl Acker died September 19, 1918. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Carrie Mabry; four grandsons, Lawrence Clarence and Wilford Acker and Lawrence Edgar Mabry, and a great granddaughter Marilou Acker.
Mr. Acker made a success of his life in spite of it many hardships. He loved and appreciated his home very much--often saying, "There is nothing better than a good home". He was a Lutheran in religious faith. When suffering with intense pain he said, "I am going home".
The following comment made by Dr. Jim Jeffries, Sept. 16, 1932, most aptly describe his life: "I have been with a man the last few days who has the wisdom for finance, the wisdom for business, for life, for health and strength and the right way of living. I have watched this man, he not being aware of it, listened to his talk and have learned from him. He is steadfast not driven about by every wind of doctrine. He meets all his obligations with a smile. His life shines forth as one of the brightest stars above".
Funeral services were held in the home of Mrs. Mabry on May 30, 1944 at 2:30 P.M. with the Rev. Oscar Erickson officiating. Miss Clara Owens and Mrs. Iloene Katschman sang, "Going Down the Valley", "O'er Death's Sea" and "Where We Never Grow Old" with Mrs. Frank Marsh as accompanist. The following members of the Friendly Neighbors club, Mesdames Chas. Siems, Chas. Selvidge, Frank Zehr, John Niblack, Alva Breshears and Delbert Zehr, Mrs. Dot Halbert and Miss Nellie Moore, assisted in helping with the many beautiful flowers. Mrs. Mabry is also a member of this club. Pallbearers were Wilbur Samples and Willie Moore and the four grandsons. Burial was in Crutsinger cemetery with the following attendants at the grave: Oscar, Jesse and J. C. Stutesman, Tom Selvidge, Wilbur Samples and Less Shumaker. Hathaway Funeral Home was in charge.
