Dear All, I am happily corrected in the ages of Akers Death Dates!!! the women in my line lived long, but not the men. My Grandfather, Alfred Earl Akers told my dad, Donald Wayne Akers(67 now after a 5 way by pass) that his dad (George Franklin Akers) and his grandfather (George Washington Akers) and "all before that" ( maybe a slight exaggeration) all died at 72. My uncle Earl Eugene Akers passed away about 5 years ago at the age of 69. All died of heart failure due to hardening of the arteries. I am SOOO glad that most Akers enjoy robust health and longevity! They must be eating right! Thank you for such a generous input. Diana----to Live Long Akers
