Hi Jo: Did you look in any other Decatur Co. Papers for his obit? You said the Journal" is that the Decatur Co. Journal, or the Leon Journal-Reporter? Right off the top of my head, I don't know 'what all' newspapers there were in 1917.. Nancee ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- We are hoping to find an obituary for her father James Harrison Acton to Determine just who his parents were. I have been in touch with Sherry Balow Who is always a great one to help out and who has Acton relatives, we think Our Actons are cousins. So far all we have found was a death notification Of Sept 28, 1917 in the Journal. We have records from the Old Soldiers Home In Marshalltown but nothing saying who his father is. Again Nancy thanks for all you do, I wish I could help, but that darn full Time job of mine takes too much time-Jo Achee, Louisiana -----

I have Aaron and Hannah (Grishaw) Acton as parrents. Have three generations beyond this going to James Acton (born before 1746-1819 Garrard Co, Kentucky) and Elizabeth McCraft (1750-1822).

The James Harrison Acton I have in my line was born Oct 12 1849 in Decatur County, Iowa, he was married to Mary Martha Hamilton abt 1867. He died 28 Sep 1917 and is buried in Hamilton Cemetery, Decatur County, Iowa. Is this the same one you have?
