George Ackason, M. D., one of the earliest practitioners of Golden City, became a resident of Barton County in 1876. He was born in Greene County, Tenn., and is a son of J. H. and Letitia (Walker) Ackason, also natives of Tennessee. In 1856 the parents removed to Cedar County, Mo., and the father purchased a farm near Stockton, upon which our subject was reared.
