Allen, who passed away at the home
of her son, Grant Allen, at Emporium,
last Friday, Oct. 22nd, at midnight.
Mrs. Allen has been i'll long time but
she was so brave, patient and hopeful
that we could not believe that she
would not recover and once more oc-
cupy the home she loved so well, and
greet us there in her pleasant, cheer
ful way. There are no words to esti-
mate the loss, we, as a community, sus-
tanned. Her body was brought from
Emporium on Mail Monday and taken
to her late home, where funeral ser
vices were held for her at 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon, the Rev. Mr.. Cooper
