(Ref: 1901-2 Keokuk City Directory) ================================= Joseph S. Aiken, wife, Elizabeth, farmer, resided at Ford's add. Also residing there was Robert Aiken, works for Strickler Store F Company; Miss Eliza Aiken and Miss Alice Aiken.(Keokuk, Ia., City Directory, 1907) ================================= Joseph S. Aiken, civil war veteran and an old resident of Keokuk, died early this morning at his home at the city limits in West Keokuk. He was 78 years old and had lived here since he was 16. Born of Scottish parentage in New York City, in August 1941, he came west with his parents sixteen years later. They settled in Keokuk, which was only a small village then with a few houses scattered here and there. Mr. Aiken enlisted in Company A, Second Regiment of Iowa volunteers in 1861, and took an active part in the civil war until 1863 when he was mustered out of service. He fought at Shiloh, Fort Donnelison and Corinth. Mr. Aiken was married in June 1863, to Miss Elizabeth Rogers of Corinth, Miss., and brought his bridge to Keokuk where they have spent the whole of their married life together. Sixteen children were born to this union, four of whom have preceded the father in death, and leaving twelve children and the widow to mourn his death. Mr. Aiken is also survved by one sister, Mrs. Christian Anslyn, of Los Angeles, Calif. The children are: John Aiken of Keokuk, Harry, Charles and Joseph of Cleveland, Ohio, the latter two being twins; James of Des Moines; August and Robert of Chicago; Walter and Miss Eliza, Keokuk; Mrs. E. Ewing, Mrs. George Mulligan and Mrs. Frank Blaisdell of Keokuk. When Mr. Aiken was sixteen years old he united with the First Baptist church which faith he kept during the long years of his life. He was also a member of the Puchechetuck Odd Fellows lodge and a member of the Belknap post of the G.A.R.'s. In the death of this man, his family loses a kind and loving father and a devoted husband and the community at large will be the poorer for having lost one of its most highly respected and worthy citizens.
