Alsop Wakeman was born at Wilton, Connecticut, on May 29, 1845, and departed this life at his home in Akron, Iowa, on this eightieth birthday, May 29, 1925. He was the youngest of a family of eight children. One sister, aged 82, and one brother, aged 87, survive. In 1867 he, with others, came to the Dakota Territory and settle on a homestead in Union county, three miles northwest of Akron. At that time Boone, Iowa, was the terminus of the railroad and the journey from that point was continued by ox teams, over an unsettled and trackless prairie. In common with the very few early settlers, he experienced the hardships of pioneer life. Including the grasshopper plague and the old-time blizzards. In 1874 he was united in marriage with Louise Bellwood, and two children were born to them, both of whom died in infancy. He is survived by his faithful and devoted wife and her four children, who were reared as his own. They are Mrs. Carrie Whitney, of Roseville, Kansas; Edward Bellwood, of Chicago; Arthur Bellwood and Christian Bellwood, of Akron. In 1917 owing to advancing age, he moved with his family to Akron and has enjoyed his life here for the past eight years. Funeral services were held in the Baptist church on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. A. W. Caul, field worker for the Iowa Baptist Convention. Many of the old time friends were present to pay a last tribute of respect. Interment was in Riverside cemetery.
