She was 74 years of age and was one of the well known pioneer farm women, whose home for fifty years was several miles northeast of town. The husband, the late John F.

Those surviving are the son, John Acklan of Monmouth, Ill.; two brothers, William and Louie Jacques of Farmington and two sisters, Mrs. James Burk of near here and Louise Jacques of Farmington and several more distant relatives and a large circle of friends. Interment took place in the rural Acklan cemetery.
