Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 September 1914 — Page 3 Advertisements Column 6 [ADVERTISEMENT]
The 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Akers, who reside oa the C. P. Moody farm in Barkley tp., died Saturday night ■ from burns received the Monday previous while playing with matches on the floor. Her clothing caught fire and she waa so badly burned that little or no hope was entertained of saving her life, from the start. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the Barkley church, conducted by Rev. J. C. Parrett and burial made in the Brown cemetery. Several automobile loads of Rensselaer people, including Judge Hanley and wife, Ed Reeve and wife, E. T. Harirs and family, Rex Warner and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Warner, Fred Phillips and family and Abe Halleck and family, went down to Piermont, south of Delphi, Sunday and gathered a lot of “Indiana bananas," pawpaws. Mr. Warner remembered The Democrat with a nice bunch of them. There were lots of them there this year but they were just about in time to secure some before they all were gone.
