The Portland Observer, Wednesday, January 30, 1907
Death came as a great relief to Mrs. L. F. Ackley last Thursday night at her 
home on the north side.  For more than 35 years she had been an awful sufferer 
from asthma, and during al that time she had not lain down in bed to sleep as 
most people sleep but had sat propped up in bed or in a chair; and often 
during daytime she was compelled to stand for hours erect between two chairs 
in order that she might breathe with any degree of comfort.  And during a few 
days prior to death her suffering was pitiable and intense.  She as 60 years 
of age.

Mrs. Ackley, who was the mother of Frank Barber of this village, was married 
to Mr. Ackley in Athol, Mass., coming to Portland eight years ago from Lake 
Odessa.  She is survived by her husband and one child of this union, Mrs. Fred 
Robinson of this village..  a son and a daughter by her former husband reside 
in Vermont.  Neither was here to attend the funeral.  

Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon by Rev. Hageman from her late 
home, interment in Portland cemetery.
