Doris, to rear. Mrs. Akers died 9 Mar 1935. He is survived by one sister,

Ronnie’s note: William Witte Akers was Grandmother Wright’s brother. He

was postmaster at Manchac, which was named after him, I’ve been told.

Maybe Uncle Bill and Aunt Witte were both named after him, although

Grandpaw Wright’s name was also William.
