Mil THE&THE Sketch of Life of Edward Acker- man, Old Resident One of Veteran Employes of the Bur lington Railroad and Well Known Over System. Edward Charles Ackerman was born Aug. 28, 1S74 at Mt. Pleaeant, Iowa, and departed this life Aug. 16, 1935. at the age of 60 years, 11 monthB, 19 days. He united with the Methodist church in Mt. Pleasant when a boy. He was united in marriage to Mol lle Gobelman at Plattsmouth, Nebr. June 20th, 1900. To this union were born Edward Otto, Edna Viola, and Violet Elsie, all surviving. Early in life he entered the ser vices of the Burlington railroad at Plattsmouth, Neb., where he worked up to chief car inspector. In 1912 he was transferred to Wymore as general car foreman, a position which was capably filled until 1923, when ill health caused him to resign and accept other duties, which were held up to the time of his recent sickness, and departure. He was a kind and loving father and dutiful husband, very happy in his home, very quiet of nature but a dependable neighbor and friends to all with whom he came in contact. He will be missed from amonf his many friends. Very kind and consid crate of everyone. To live in hearts left behind is not to die. He was steadfast and en dured his suffering until at last God called and he answered peacefully. Besides his immediate family he leaves to mourn his loss: Two bro thers, Geo. Ackerman, Pasadena, Calif., and A. H. Ackerman, West Burlington, Iowa; two sisters, Mrs. Frank McClary, Mt. Pleasant, la., and Mrs. Minnie Knox, Los Angeles, Calif. Also three grandchildren, Da vid Edward, and Marvel Mae Acker man and Vivian June Perry. Deep shadows have fallen upon the home Where the sweetest Joy, the sweetest light, Shone Inward, outward, and up the dome That crowns the dwelling so . fair, so bright. For the heart and the soul of the home are fled. Dread messenger, why should thou strive so nigh. Father, husband, thou cans't not be dead. Thy life and thy love in the home cannot die. The shadows are dense, but the light again Of Heaven's great glory shall lift the gloom. And bring into view every hill and glen. Dear frien3d for the light of the soul make room. From the vale of tears see the golden west. That speaks of Heaven's day when earth's day is done. He giveth his beloved, and rest, in God's great homeland we shall all be one. A short funeral service was held at the home at one o'clock on Sun day afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. E. Powell. Music furnished by a male quartet. Card of Thanks.
