Read More	The sad news was telegraphed here Saturday afternoon to Mesdames A. L. and W. S. Wolfe that their father, Mr. G. K. Eacrett, had just passed away at his home in Deer Creek township. Although his health had not been good for sometime, he continued about his business; that of buying grain at Solomon, and had just come home from a business trip when the summons came. Services were held at his late residence at 10 o'clock Monday and the remains were brought and laid to rest in the beautiful Malvern cemetery. The deceased's son Charles has sent us a brief sketch of his father's life, which is appended hereto. A personal acquaintance with this excellent gentleman, covering a number of years, gave us something of an insight into his many superior qualities of mind and heart, and we had learned to esteem and admire him and to thoroughly enjoy our occasional visits with him. Although his time was much given to his business and the books he delighted in, he will be sadly missed and sincerely mourned by his family and host of friends. George's father moved to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania when George was young and thus it is the place he spent his youth and early manhood. He was married to Elizabeth Steele Jan. 1st, 1850. To them were born ten children, three sons and seven daughters, all living except one daughter, who died Dec. 11th, 1875. He removed from Pittsburg to Fayette county, Iowa in 1855 and lived there until 1873, when he removed to Mills county, Iowa, his present home, where he died June 4th, 1898, being 74years old, less 7 days. He joined the M. E. church when about 19 years old and was an active member for nearly 40 years. To his friends he frequently said, "To the Methodist church I owe much for my religious life and moral training." His sympathies and affections always remained with the church, but some of the methods and some of the theological teachings he could not conscientiously subscribe to and in the last 15 years or so of his life he did not take as active a part as he did in former years. The writings of the new church as dictated by the Lord to His servant, Emanuel Swedenborg, seemed to his mind a more correct interpretation of the letter and spirit of the Holy Scriptures, of which he always had a most reverent regard. The rains of Heaven mingled with our tear drops as we laid him to rest but there will be sunshine in the sweet bye and bye. We desire to thank our friends for their sympathy and help in our hour of bereavement. [Son of: George (born in Ireland in 1789) and Nancy Ann (Kingsland) Eacrett (born in 1800 in New York; died in 1845 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)]
