Josephine Hoyt was born at Wilton, Connecticut, August 9, 1858, and moved with the family in May 1867, by railway, to the then terminus at Boone, Iowa, thence by ox team and covered wagon, to Dakota Territory, in Union county three miles northwest of what is now Akron, Iowa. In May, 1884 she was married to Frank Wakeman, going directly to their farm five miles north of Akron and residing there until 1898, when they removed to Chatsworth, Iowa, where he operated their grain elevator for ten years. They then moved to Akron, which has since remained the family home. Mrs. Wakeman had lived in Akron vicinity fifty-nine years, experiencing the vicissitudes of the pioneers including grasshopper pests, and genuine blizzards, and had a part in the developments of the Big Sioux Valley from a virgin state to its present prosperity and productiveness. She is survived by her husband Frank Wakeman and her daughter Mildred, her sister Anna Squires, and her brother, J.C. Hoyt, well known as living near Akron. She was a true helpmate and homemaker with all that these terms imply a faithful and devoted wife and mother. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon in the Baptist church, Rev. A.L MacMillan preaching the sermon. Many old time friends were present to pay a last tribute of respect, a number coming from the old home vicinity of Chatsworth. There were numerous beautiful floral tributes. Interment was in Riverside Cemetery. The James F. Toy bank at Sioux City, was represented by H.J. Crouse and Mr. Dunkle at the funeral.
