OBITUARY. 
In the death of Ebenezer Akin, Jr., 
which occurred Dec. 30, 1904, Riverside 
Cemetery, Fairhaven, Mass., lost an old 
and valued servant. Mr. Akin was ap- 
pointed trustee by the donor, at the 
dedication of the cemetery, June 7, 1850, 
retaining his position until ms death, 
having served as trustee for a period 
of over 54 years, and for 46 years few 
took a more active interest in cemetery 
affairs. 
The donor of the cemetery, Warren 
Delano, Jr., of Newburg, N. Y., died 
Jan. 12, 1898. The minister who con- 
ducted the dedication services passed

those who took part in the services are 
now living — Job C. Tripp, of Fairha- 
ven, and Mrs. Sylvanus Allen, who took 
part in the singing.

gaged for ten years with the late James
