Mrs. John Acker, nee Cynthia Huckins, daughter of M. J. Huckins and Proxo [sic] Merrill Huckins, was born July 9 1854 at Stansted, Canada, and died March 7, 1926 at her home in Buda, Illinois. She came with her parents to Neponset, Illinois when she was three years old and grew to young womanhood in that community.
She was married to John Acker September 23, 1869. They were the parents of seven children. The husband and father passed away in 1910. Two daughters have preceded the mother in death; Charlotte, wife of F. J. Blake and Dora J. wife of H. L. Brainard. The others are Charles M. Acker, Mrs. Edna Kirpatrick of Lost Hills, California, Thomas Acker of Buda, Leon Acker of Chicago, and Mrs. Helen Camp of Tiskilwa. There are twenty-seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Two sisters survive her, Mrs. Dora Nash of Chicago, and Mrs. Ina Brown of Long Beach, California.
As long as the Union Church held services she was active in the work of that society, and in later years her efforts were given to the other churches of the town. She was a member of the Woman's Club, Woman's Relief Corps, Eastern Star, Rebekahs, the Macon Community Club, and the White Shrine of Jerusalem at Princeton. In all these organizations she has been an enthusiastic and energetic worker, ever-ready to do her part.
But it was in her family and in her home that her life was centered. After bringing up her own family she took into her home the three little girls left orphans by her daughter's death, and still later, when another daughter died, she assumed the care of a baby boy who has remained in the family to this time. Her big heart encompassed them all in love and service.
The impressive burial ritual of the Eastern Star was read by members of the order and the body was laid to rest in the Buda Cemetery.
