Indications are that Akron will be without a first class hotel after the

that he will close that pioneer hostelry after that date. The house was
fitted up with modern conveniences only last year and has been doing a
good business, but Mr. Martin finds much difficulty in securing
sufficient help, which has resulted in working himself and family to the
limit. It is intention to retain a portion of the hotel for living
rooms and use the remained for poultry raising by the incubator method,
in which he will engage very extensively. The passing of the Kendall
Hotel, which has been a welcome mecca for the traveling public for many
years will be much regretted.
Another of Akron's few remaining civil war veterans - Franklin Rust -
answered the last roll call Tuesday, the summons coming as a release
from long patient suffering. Franklin J. Rust was born in Switzerland,
February 2, 1836. He came with his parents to Albany, N.Y., when eight
years of age. Later they moved to Illinois where he grew to young
manhood. When he was 20 years of age he came west to Black Hawke
county, Iowa, and secured land, his parents at once joining him there.
He was united in marriage with Lavina Heath at Independence, Iowa, on
October 23, 1855. To them were born twelve children, two of whom - Eva
and Libbie - they lost when children, the former drowning at Elk Point
at the age of fourteen. The surviving children are six daughters. In
1887, twenty-three years ago, Mr. Rust and his family came from Black
Hawk county to Union county, S.D., locating in Sioux Valley township on
a farm about four miles west of Akron. Following protracted suffering
with rheumatic trouble one of his limbs became affected with gangrene
and it became necessary for him to submit to its amputation in 1904.
Since that ordeal, which was particularly trying at his age, his health
has gradually declined. Mr. and Mrs. Rust moved from the farm to Akron
in Sept. 1908, and this has since remained their home. Two months ago
he was stricken with paralysis. The funeral was held at the Akron M.E.
church, Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Dr. Chipperfield of Sioux City
conducted the services in the absence of.....[the last two lines of this

Column 3:
Mr. and Mrs. George Simpson Mourn the Loss of Their Fifteen Year Son,
Who Suffered a Relapse From Attack of Mumps.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. George Simpson on Fifth street was saddened by
death on Sunday morning when their fifteen year old son, John, succumbed
after a brief illness. The parents are almost prostrated by the shock, his
death being totally unexpected. Johnny, as he was familiarly called,
suffered an attack of mumps about a month ago, and after a prolonged spell
of illness was able to be out again and as late as Thursday was about his
usual work when to all appearances he was perfectly well.
On Friday he was seized with a chill suffering a relapse and a physician
was called and on Saturday night three doctors worked him over. His last
words were uttered to his father asking him to lay him over on his other
side.
John William Simpson was born in LeMars on March 17, 1895 where the
fifteen years of his life were spent. He attended the public schools and at
the end of last term a few weeks ago had been presented with his diploma for
entry into the high school.
Besides the grief stricken parents two brothers and two sisters are left
to mourn his death.
Johnny was a bright and hustling lad, full of life and spirits, and his
death is a terrible blow to his parents whose sorrow and grief can only be
lessened by the passage of time. Johnny was employed in the Sentinel office
as carrier boy for the past two years and his visits on press evenings will
be missed there. The funeral will be held at the residence on Wednesday
afternoon at two o'clock and at the Presbyterian church at half past two,
Rev. C. F. Fisher officiating in the absence of Rev. W. G. Moore.
