MRS. A. H. ACKERMAN TAKEN BY HEART ATTACK
Last week's Leader contained an item stating that Mrs. A. H. Ackerman was not very well. That issue of the Leader was printed Thursday afternoon and evening, September 19th. That morning Mrs. Ackerman's condition became definitely worse, a heart attack beginning then. Her condition became worse and death came Saturday morning. The funeral was held at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the Methodist church, being in charge of Robert M. Spooner. Rev. Chambers, pastor of the Sargent Free Methodist church had charge of the religious service and preached the funeral sermon. Bernard Brush did the singing, being accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Leona Shettron. The songs used were "Nearer, My God, To Thee," "Rock of Ages," and "The End of a Perfect Day." The pall bearers were Roy Brush, Bert Amos, Glenn Amos, Charley Thompson, Walter Pedrick, and Stan-j leigh John. Interment was made in the Sargent precinct cemetery. Mary Allie Swallow was born 'in Page county, Iowa, October 4, 1874, and passed away at her home in Sargent, Nebraska, September 21, 1940, at the age of 71 years, 11 months and 17 days. Mary Allie Swallow secured her education and grew to young womanhood near her birth place and was united in marriage March 3, 1897, to Arthur H. Ackerman, and they made their home in Iowa for something like fifteen years and then came to Nebraska, first locating on a farm near Arcadia, Valley County, where they lived six years. Then they lived near Loup City, Sherman county four years, Litchfield four years, Myra Valley in Valley county two years, near Loup City three years and then moved to Custer county and lived on H farm nine and a half miles south of Sargent a few years. Then they moved to Sargent the spring of 1935 and this has been their home since? Mrs. Ackerman is survived by her husband, four daughters, one Sundown
When my sun of life is low, when the dewy shadows creep Say for me before I go, "Now I lay me down to sleep." I am at the journey’s end I have sown and, I must reap, there are no more ways to mend now I lay me down to sleep
Nothing more to doubt or dare. Nothing more to give or keep Say for me the children's prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep."
Who has learned along the way Primrose path or stony steep More of wisdom than to say "Now I lay me" down to sleep." What have you more widely to tell when the shadow's round me creep all is over, all is well "Now I lay me down to sleep."
