FORMER AKRON RESIDENT DIES
Ed Waterbury Was Among First Settlers In Vicinity.

Charles Edward Waterbury, 77, one of the first settlers in Akron, died last
week at Hudson, S.D. He was born at New Canaan, Connecticut, March 18,
1859, and came with his parents in 1867 to Union county, Dakota. They
homesteaded three and a half miles northwest of where Akron was later
located. He went to Texas in 1877, where he remained but a short time.

In the summer of 1878, he had in 100 acres of the finest wheat anyone ever
saw on the Iowa side. He went to look at it one Sunday and knew he would
have a bumper crop, but on Tuesday the grasshoppers hatched out in Dakota
and flew over into Iowa in clouds that obscured the sun, and in one day
there was hardly a spear of wheat left. He then went railroading and later
joined the rush for gold in the Black Hills.

Coming back to Plymouth County he married Josephine Waterbury and engaged in
farming. In subsequent years, he lived in Washington, Oregon, Arizona and
California.

Of late years, he lived at Hudson, S.D.

He is survived by one son, Roy Waterbury, of Milford, Iowa; and three
daughters, Mrs. Florence Bellwood, Mrs. Verna Saterbo and Mrs. Frances
Jahde, of Hudson, S.D.; four grandchildren and a brother, Fred Waterbury, of
Akron.

The Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Hudson and the
interment made in the Riverside Cemetery at Akron.
