appears the following obituary of Theodore Haviland, a former Akron
resident, who was employed in the livery barns here for many years, to whose
many friends news of his death will bring regret: "Theodore Haviland, aged
88 years, died Monday evening, April 22, at 11 o'clock, following a
lingering illness of paralysis at the home of his son, M. W. Haviland, of
this place. For the past six months, Mr. Havilland had been a patient
sufferer and Saturday he was seized with another stroke, from which he never
rallied, but gradually grew worse until the end came peacefully Monday
evening. The funeral was held at the residence Wednesday morning at 10
