Married Roswell D. Ackley on 26 Jan 1882 in Scott County, Iowa.
ACKLEY.
The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Florence E. Ackley, nee Ashton, will shock and grieve her many friends in Davenport She was a teacher in the East Davenport school for six years—and a favorite among the city teachers. Her death occurred in her country home last Saturday night. She was stricken down while feeling well and in good spirits. Mrs. Ackley was in her room, with her room, friend, Miss Spratt at 9:45 Saturday forenoon, both intending to drive to the city together. Mrs. Ackley was in a chair placing her watch in her pocket, when she fell to one side—and was caught by by Miss Spratt just in time to prevent her falling out an open window and to the ground, thirteen feet below. Assistance was summoned, and Mrs. Ackley was placed on a bed. She said, "I will be all right in a few minutes"—and became unconscious as to her condition. The family physcian was summoned, but could do nothing more than to administer anodynes. Mrs. Ackley died at a quarter to 10 o'clock in the night.
Mrs. Ackley was born in London, Ontario, July 10, 1855. The family came to Davenport in the early 60's. The daughter Florence was educated in our city schools—graducated in the high school and training school. In '75 she was appointed teacher in School No. 1., and remained in the position until the fall of '81, when she resigned because of her approaching marriage. In July, 1882, she and Mr. Roswell D. Ackley were united in marriage. They went into immediate occupancy of a home on the farm owned by the husband—four miles northeast of the city, on the Jersey ridge road—which became one of the most bountiful homes in the country, as well one of the happiest. The friends of wife and husband were delighted in guestship in that home. Now it is in the shadow of gloom—the husband in the agony of deepest grief. Mrs. Ackley was talented, versatile, witty, with a tender heart and abounding cheerfulness. She was loved by her city companions, and in her married life had the affection and esteem of all her neighbors, who delighted in her society. The mourning there is deep. The parents of the deceased are living. Two brothers are resident in Muscotine, one in California. Mrs. A. L. Bennett of this city is a sister. Her death was the effect of kidney ailment.
The funeral takes place at 10:30 tomorrow forenoon, with services in the family residence. Rev. Wm. Lease will officiate. City friends who wish to attend will do well to take the Orphans' Home road. The interment will be in Oakdale.
