The Enterprise, October 25, 1907
Judge John Akin’s Death
     The death of Judge John W. Akin, of Cartersville, is a great blow to 
Georgia. Judge Akin was a strong Christian man who was sure to stand for the 
right. He was an active member of the Methodist Church and was a man of much 
influence and a power for good. He was president of the State Senate and one of 
the strong supporters of the prohibition bill. He had been a leading figure in 
politics and the legal profession, and Masonic fraternity for a number of 
years. Many Georgians mourn his death. 
     Judge Akin’s death followed closely that of his mother, Mrs. Mary F. Akin, 
who in feeble health hearing of her son’s serious illness, fainted and could 
not be revived. She died just twelve hours before the death of her illustrious 
son occurred.
