The funeral services were held on the
Sunday afternoon following and were
largely attended by the numerous

Mr.. Allen was possessed of uncommon
sprightliness of mind and body for one
of his aye and his exceptions good nature
and love of fun will make him long re-
membered. The wagon, the breaking of
which caused his death, was one he had
won on bet he had made with a
ncighbor on Harrison's election last fall,
and, being worn out, he had frequently
been cautioned by his friends to be care-
full in its use.
