Stephen Rutherford Akes was born in the state of Kentucky, Dec. 19, 1821, and departed this life May 20, 1908, to enter the house not made with hands. When deceased was nine years of age he removed with his parents to McCoupin Co. Illinois, and in the year 1868 removed to Decatur Co. Iowa, where he resided continuously until his death. The deceased was known in the community where he lived as an honorable, upright, christian man; his influence always being in the case that he deemed right and just. He was a man of original thought and research, a great student of the bible and had the courage to stand for the right at all times and under all circumstances. After moving to Decatur Co. Mr. Akes became a member of the Palestine Baptist Church, and remained a faithful memeber until his death. Until the last few years he was very active in church work, and not until old age compelled him to desist did he cease his activity. During the life of his wife and as long as he maintained a home it was always opened to his friends or to strangers who might be in his neighborhood. The ministers who preached at Palestine Church usually made his home their headquarters. The deceased was one of the early members of the Odd Fellow Lodge of Decatur, Iowa, was ever faithful and strongly attached to the principles of the Order.
