GEO. ACHESON. One of the saddest and most deeply and generally mourned deaths which has ever occurred in Fairfield took place last Friday afternoon in the death of Mrs. Mary Acheson, wife of Geo. Acheson, Esq., and a resident of the city for nearly forty years. The sudden and almost startling announcement of the death of this good woman, whose gentle and womanly life had endeared her to all, came with cruel force upon the whole community. Every tongue was stilled and every heart was hushed in realizing that so good, and true, and noble a woman had been beckoned by the Unseen Hand, that the final summons had gone forth from its tenement of earth forever. Her death occurred about one o'clock in the afternoon. She had been sick only a week, and while it was realized that she was very low, none felt but that she would recover. And hope was strong until a short time before her death, when suddenly she began to decline and in a few moments the golden bowl was broken, the silver cord was snapped, and Mrs. George Acheson was no more. Deceased was the daughter of Mr. Adley Hemphill, who came to Iowa from Wooster, Ohio, in January, 1843. Mr. Hemphill had four daughters and one son when he came here and had two sons born afterwards. Of that family all are now dead excepting Mrs. J. A. McKemey of this city, and John T. Hemphill, of Sparta, Wis. Deceased was married to Geo. Acheson, Esq., in December of 1847, and has resided here ever since. They have four children living and two dead, those alive being Mrs. Chas. Clarke and Mrs. Frank Garrettson (sic), and John and George Acheson. The funeral took place Monday afternoon from the residence and was one of the largest ever known here. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Dwight, of the Congregational church, of which Mrs. Acheson was a member. Mr. Dwight spoke feelingly of the many virtues of the deceased, and offered to the bereaved relatives, in truly tender words, the consolation which is contained in the christian religion. Mrs. Acheson will long be remembered in Fairfield as one of the kindest and best of women, devoted as a wife and mother, and the whole effect of whose life has been entirely for good. She was a noble woman, and the example of her life is a lesson which, properly heed, will make happier and better the homes of all who ever knew her. (sic. following the published text above, the Jefferson County Bar appended a section "ACTION OF THE BAR", which essentially noted that the local legal bar association members met on April 3, 1880 and passed a resolution in honor of the life of Mary Hemphill Acheson, wife of Bar member George Acheson. It was a nice tribute to her life and meaning to the members of the Bar.)
