Hi! I thought it was him...? I have the census...? but he is NOWHERE to be found anywhere else after or previous to the 1910 census!!? I did find a Ben H Akers, age 4, in TN, in 1900, but if you do the math, this one could NOT have been the father of Eldridge Wayne Akers. Looks like he was "married" to Lida when she was 14 or 15...? hmmmm...? Might have been a "marriage on paper" only. I found records for Lida today.? Eugenia Eliza "Lida" HAWKINS b. 1894 d. 1984 in Columbia Co., Florida.? Evidently, she was a native Floridian. She later married twice, once to a Kilpatrick and once to a Flannigan.? She had a child with Kilpatrick, but I didn't find any issue with Flannigan. Maybe, (what do you think?) my friend needs to order a copy of Eldridge's application for a social security number to see what might be there about his father.? Might also need to obtain a copy of the application for marriage license from Hillsborough County for Lida and Ben... This line really has be totally baffled! Any ideas, anyone??

Akers in the 1910 U.S. Federal census residing in Tarpon Springs, Hillsborough Co., Florida. Benjamin is shown as married, but appears to be living with his mother & her 2nd husband. Do you need the entry transcribed?
