JOSIAH T. AKINJOSIAH T. AKIN, the junior member of the firm of R. W. Akin's Sons, is the youngest of the family of Ransom W. and Sarah R. (Sedgwick) Akin. He is a native Hoosier, having been born in Monroe County, Ind., October 9, 1860. His education was all acquired in the schools of Carlisle, with the exception of two years that he attended the Union Christian College at Merom, and one year at Asbury University, where he took an irregular course. After this he began clerking for the firm of R. W. Akin & Sons, which he continued until his father's death in June, 1880, when he became the owner of his father's share in the partnership, and the name of the company was changed to R. W. Akin's Sons. He is a member of the fraternity of Odd Fellows, of the Subordinate Lodge, No. 50, at Carlisle, and has passed all the chairs in that order and represented his lodge in Grand Lodge. In politics, he is Democratic and takes a lively interest in public affairs of his town, where he is looked upon as a young man of promise, and whose habits and busness qualities are above reproach.< HAMILTON TWP.
