Civil War veteran. 154th New York Volunteer Infantry (Hardtack Regiment), Company I. Enlisted September 1, 1862 at Great Valley, NY for a 3 year term; mustered in as a private on September 25, 1862; captured in action, May 2, 1863, at Chancellorsville, VA; paroled on May 14, 1863, at City Point, VA; transferred to Veteran Reserve Corps, March 15, 1865; mustered out on August 16, 1865, at Nashville, TN in 149th Company.
The Hardtack Regiment had 3 Akers (George W [age 21], Isaac D [age 26], and William A [age 18]); they all enlisted July-September 1862 from Great Valley, and without researching I assume they are brothers.

Obituary of daughter Clara L Akers Mohr, lists George as her father and Candice Covell Akers as her mother.
