and Mrs. Cyrene 1ngersoll, OF Epping.
At the age of twenty-five she married
Obadiah Allen. To them were born four
children, two dying several years ago
very suddenly, within few days OF each
other. Their death was great grief to
the parents and a shock to the commu-
nifty.
Mrs. Allen lived in Somesville more
than thirty years and during that time
made many friends. Her life was that of
consistent Christian, faithful wife and
mother and kind neighbor. She was
generous with those in need OF assistance,
and gave literally to the support of her
own church and to that of others.
Several years ago she received by fall
ing a serious injury from which she
never recovered and was great sufferer.
The sympathy of her friends is extended
to her bereaved husband and to her son
and daughter NJ. L. Allen and Mrs.
Dencie Somes, who are among the most
respected citizens of the town.
