Death Claimed Them.
A. Aker, East Church street, received a letter Saturday from his hold home in Germany for the first time in several years.

Adrian died on April 30, 1940 at Lock Haven, PA. He was 80 years old, widowed, a Retired Tailor and lived at 221 E Walnut St. Adrian was buried at the St Agnes Cemetery on May 2nd. The informant on his death certificate was Mrs. T M Aker (Wren?) at the same address.

Adrian Aker Killed When Struck By Freight.
Because he became confused and tried to retract his steps when he was the train coming, Adrian Aker, 80-year-old retired tailor was killed when the train struck him and hurled him several feet against a signal standard Tuesday morning.
The accident occurred at 7:40 a.m. at the corner of Jay and Clinton streets, as Mr. Aker was returning from the Hope Hose Company station where he had been chatting with friends, to the home of Mrs. F. E. Wren, 221 East Walnut street, where he had been living.
He started to cross the tracks as an eastbound New York Central freight train came along. Due to his age he walked slowly, taking short steps. Becoming confused when he seemed to think that he could not reach the south side of the crossing, Mr. Aker attempted to turn back but was too late.
The locomotive struck him, throwing him against the standard several feet away. The skull fracture apparently occurred as his head struck the standard. There was a gash in his head. Otherwise he was apparently unhurt. Coroner W. J. Shoemaker said no inquest will be held.
The train proceeded onward as the engineer, H. C. McClain, Jersey Shore, apparently did not see Mr. Aker.
Mrs. Albert R. Latchat, 1 South Jay street, was an eyewitness.
