THE DEATH RECORD
Thomas F. Akeley
1842 - 1911
RUSSELL, April 3.--A pall of sadness was cast over this village when it became known that Thomas F. Akeley had passed away at his home in this village at nine o'clock Saturday morning.
He was stricken with paralysis last Tuesday afternoon and for a time hopes were entertained for his recovery. His passing marks the close of a noble useful life.
The deceased was the son of Joseph and Eliza Akeley, pioneer residents of Warren County, the youngest of a family of eleven children and the last to pass away.
Joseph Akeley came to Pine Grove township in 1815, what was then a densely wooded country, inhabited by wild beasts and wild men who had recently surrendered the title to their lands under compulsion; these were the conditions which confronted the unfaltering and fearless pioneers of this neighborhood.
Joseph Akeley made no less than three trips to Pittsburg [sic] in a canoe bringing back flour and provisions and many times he had walked from here to Buffalo bringing back a bushel of salt on his back.
Thomas F. Akeley was born in Russell, Pa., November 25, 1842. When a young man he learned the carpenter's trade. From 1882 until 1885 he was a partner with W. V. Hodges in a general store on the East Side where the present store now stands.
In the summer of 1885 he built the Russell Postoffice [sic] building. In 1891 he started a general store in this building and the same year was appointed Postmaster of Russell, which position he held until he resigned in November, 1910, with the exception of about three years during Cleveland's first administration. During his service as Postmaster the receipts of his office rose from $90 to $200 a quarter.
In September, 1861, he was united in marriage to Lydia Briggs and they lived a happy wedded life. His widow survives him.
He was familiarly known as "Uncle Tom" and was in reality uncle to over a hundred nephews and nieces.
The funeral services will be conducted from the late home on Tuesday at one o'clock and from the M. E. church at two o'clock, with interment in Russell Cemetery.

Mrs. Arthur was born Sept. 8, 1839, in Cattaraugus County, New York, and spent the greater portion of her life at Youngsville, having removed to Warren about ten years ago. She was of a sunny, sweet disposition, always comsidering the comforts of others rather than herself. To know her was to love her.

E. church of this city and also of the Woman's Home Missionary Society. She leaves to deeply mourn her loss, her husband, Mr. W. C. Arthur and two daughters, Miss Kittie L. Arthur and Mrs. O.
