ilv home, now occupied by her son,
r. D. Allen. The honorary pail

gle Mcfarland. Mrs. S. F. Warnock,
Mrs. c. B. Mcfarland and Miss Lii
liam Norton all of whom were girl
hood friends of the deceased in But
Ter.
Mrs. Allen had lived in Butler all
her life with the exception of the last
nine years, spent in Jefferson City

this city go out to the family in this
hour of sorrow.-Butler Daily Dem
