[words missing] brothers and sisters, three of whom passed away in infancy. Now she is the last member of the Bell family to go to her reward.
When she was seven years of age her father, with his family, moved to Buffalo county, Neb, near Kearney, where she went to school, participating in the activities of rural life and grew to young womanhood. Early in life she united with the Majors United Presbyterian church, where she took an active part in all its interests; teaching in the Sabbath school, taking part in the Young People's Christian Union in its early stages, the Women's Missionary Society and other activities of the community.
On Nov 10, 1898, she was united in marriage to Elmer B Akey in which union they have met the joys and sorrows of married life for almost 48 years. To this union was born one child, Mildred Bell Akey Good.
In 1901 the Akeys moved to Clarinda to make their home and have lived in town or the vicinity ever since except a few years in Sask, Canada.
Immediately after coming to Clarinda, they became active in the United Presbyterian church and community life. Mrs Akey taught for a number of years in the Sabbath school, becoming a member of the Women's Missionary Society and WCTU, which societies she served as president and secretary as occasion required, until failing health compelled her to retire from these activities.
She leaves her husband, one daughter and her husband, Mr and Mrs C. L Good, and two granddaughters to mourn her departure. CLARINDA HERALD JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 4, 1946
