OLD RESIDENTS AT AIKEN FUNERAL
The funeral service of Mrs. Hannah Aiken, which occurred Thursday, was particularly noticeable for the number of old residents of the county who attended. Many of the oldest citizens, with whom the deceased was identified, were present. Mrs.Aiken was one of the first pioneers to come to this county, She was born at Springfield Mass, Nov. 27, 1824, making her 83 years of age and she married William Aiken in Sullivan, Ashland county, September 16 1844. One thing of interest is that she went from her home in Massachusetts to Sullivan in this state, in a wagon hauled by a team of oxen to be married. Immediately after her marriage, she and her husband moved directly to Lorain County, to the home where she died. She had two children, namely, Irad O. Aiken, father of Attorney D.H. Aiken, and Harriet Leslie Aiken. She had two grandchildren, Ulyssa Leslie and D.H. Aiken and one great grandchild, Mildred, daughter of D.H. Aiken.
Mrs. Hannah Aiken was the oldest daughter of Nathaniel porter and she had five brothers and three sisters, namely, James, Samuel, Edward, Alexander and Julian Porter and Mrs. Clarissa Perkins, Caroline Millar, Julia McConnell, all of whom are living in Lorain with the exception of the latter two who live in Ashland county. The friends of Mrs. Aiken are numbered by the score in Lorain and Amherst and all over the county where she was familiarly known as grandma. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in the county and was conducted by Rev. English of the Amherst Methodist Church. The remains were laid away to rest in Elmwood cemetery, adjoining the old home which is the property of Mr. & Mrs. Leslie who have been making their home with Mrs. Aiken and will continue to reside there with William, the husband of the deceased."
