Martin M. Akom

(15 July 1897 - 24 October 1981)
Martin was born in Dorr, Allegan County, Michigan, on 15 July 1897. He married Emma Arvilla Dean circa 1919.1 He was a head of household in the 12 January 1920 census taken in Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan, age 22, a drill press operator in a screw works; Emma Arvilla Dean resided in the same household, age 17, as "Emma A. Akom." He married Alice (--?--) in Michigan circa 1924. He was a head of household in the 1930 census taken in Lansing, Mich., age 32; Alice (--?--) resided in the same household, age 35, as "Alice M. Akom"; as did Donald Frasisky, age 12; Maxwell Frasisky, age 14; Marion M. Akom, age 6; and Ruby J. Akom, age 1. Martin died on 24 October 1981 in Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan, at age 84. His last residence was in North Muskegon.

It is difficult to sort out what was going on with Martin M. Akom around 1924. He apparently fathered two children born that year; Martin D. by his first wife Emma, and Marion M. by his second wife Alice. (Emma, for her part, gave birth in 1925 to a son by her second husband...).
