Duncan Munro officiating, assisted by the Rev. B. H. Baker. The interment being made in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Allie Roberta Akin was born January 13, 1882, in San Francisco, where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Akin, then resided, part of her early life being spent there, and in this community. Later they removed to San Jose, where she resided for six years. Later they returned to this community, where she lived with her mother and sister at both Del Mar and Albion until May of last year, when the family moved to Windsor, and there she died on Wednesday, March the 4th. "Allie," as she was familiarly termed, was of a bright, happy, beautiful disposition, beloved and respected by all who knew her. She had been a sufferer of asthma for years, but bore it all with wonderful fortitude. She had been in constant attendance upon her invalid sister for many months, the constant strain being too great for the weak heart. She was a loving daughter and devoted sister, her care of the latter being a beautiful example of her self-sacrificing disposition, truely, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend." Lillie May Akin was born in Point Arena on the 10th day of September, 1886, where her early life was spent. Later she went with her parents and sister to San Francisco, then to San Jose, where she lived until her marriage to Orin P. Gillmore, son of Mr. and Mrs. Penn Gillmore, on August 4, 1907. "Lille" was lovely, sweet and gentle, just a little, pure white angel. She was dressed for burial in her wedding clothes, by the loving hands of her sister, Allie, whose death occurred but a few hours later on the same day. These two sisters, who had never been separated, died as they had lived - together they sleep in the same grave, "Till the trumpet shall sound" and "God shall wipe all tears from our eyes." From one who loved them both, Carrie A. Andrae.
