Death of John W. Ackerman.
The many friends of Mr. John W. Ackerman, son of Mr. George Ackerman, the well-known tinsmith, will be pained to learn of the former's demise, which occurred about fifteen minutes after six o'clock on Sunday evening at the residence of his father, 347 West King street. Nine months ago he was attacked with La Grippe and has been confined to the house since that time, the disease completely prostrating him, and death came as stated above.
John W. Ackerman was born in 1852, and was consequently in his 39th year at the time of death. He was connected with Hager& Bros. for a number of years, having been a salesman in the dry goods department. For the past eleven years, however, he had been superintendent of the carpet and wall paper department at J.B. Martin & Co.'s. He was a valued salesman, and the firms with whom he was associated alway (sic) spoke in terms of high praise of him, and he was a trusted and faithful salesman. He was a kind, genial man and was liked by all who knew him, his pleasant and cheerful ways winning him hosts of friends. Enemies he had none, and nobody spoke an unkind word of him. His death indeed leaves a void in the circle in which he moved. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran church, but attended services at Christ church. He was also a member of Lancaster Lodge, No. 68, Knights of Pythias, and of the Brotherhood of the Union. In the days of the old Union Fire Company he always took an active interest in that organization's welfare.
The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with interment at Woodward Hill Cemetery. -- Lancaster New Era, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 20Oct1890, p. 1.
