Chenango Union, February 25, 1892
The Waterloo, Iowa, Tribune, of February 16th contains the following obituary of a former well known resident of McDonough:
"Mrs. Laura E. Ackley, wife of Charles T. Ackley, died Sunday morning after a protracted period of comparative helplessness though not acute suffering. In her time she had been a kindly minister at many bedsides, had smoothed the pillow of sickness for many a weary and pain racked brow. Sweet memories of her tender ministrations in serious times will rise in grateful hearts of hearing of her death. Her life was shadowed by its clouds, as that of everyone to a greater or less degree, but it had a roseate and warmthful sunshine in it that gleamed from the loving hearts of devoted daughters who were crowns of glory in her household. An affectionate husband joined with them in tender care for the feeble and failing wife and mother. One son, George, married and residing at Janesville with the daughters Mary, Julia and Mae and the husband, are the immediate bereaved. Laura E. Tyler was born in Chenango county, N.Y., March 30, 1827, died at Waterloo, Iowa, February 14, 1892, aged 64 years, ten months and seventeen days. She was married to C.T. Ackley at the age of Twenty-six years.
