Sarah Jane Akers was born in Fulton county, Pa., March 9th, 1836, and died at
her home in Conrad, May 4, 1904, aged sixty-eight years, one month and twenty
five days.
On January 10, 1861, she was married to Mr. N.D. Frazey and the same year they
moved to Illinois, where they lived until 1868 when they moved to Iowa and settled
in Grundy county, where for all these years she has made her home.

husband, survive her, namely: Mrs. Laura Canon of Edgerton, Minnesota; Mrs. Elma
Rohl of Pillager, Minnesota; Dr. B.O. Frazey of Gladbrook; Mrs. Winnie Bristley
and William and Daisy Frazey of Conrad.

her early childhood, her life being an example of simplicity and christian fortitude.
She will be missed not only by the members of her own family, but by the community
as well. Of a quiet and retiring disposition, and not given to speaking her own
praise, she won and held her friends by a bond of love and respect that grew
stronger with the passing years.

L.E. Gallagher, attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors.
