T.C.G. Allen of London township died last night. He was about 83 years of age, and had been ill but a short time. Mr. Allen was one of the early settlers in Sumner county, proving here in 1877. He bought up a quarter section of land in London township in the Ninnescah bottoms and still owned the same when he died, residing on the farm with his son Frank. He was born in Birmingham, England and was a plane maker by trade. He came to America in June 1849 and started to the California gold fields but stopped in Kansas. One son of the deceased lives in this county and a daughter, Mrs. Fred Tritle resides in Wellington. There are two daughters in the east. His wife died some years ago.
When Mr. Allen bought the farm in London township there was a mortgage on it which he paid off, and he has prospered continuously leaving personal property and real estate to the amount of $10,000.
F. Tritle and wife returned Monday night from Zyba where they were called Monday by the death of Mrs. Tritle's father, T.C.G. Allen. The two daughters of Mrs. Allen have been telegraphed. One of these, Mrs. Chas. Dunlap, lives in Benton, Illinois; the other, Mrs. Nettie Iglefritz, resides at Lafayette, Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Tritle will go up to attend the funeral which will be held at 10 o'clock Wednesday, the remains being interred in Council Hill cemetery.
The deceased would have been 82 years of age the 8th of next month. After coming to America he lived for some time at Harriston, Illinois, where he worked as wagon-maker and joiner. He also resided for awhile at St. louis before coming to Kansas. His wife died on the farm in London township about fifteen years ago. He had been quite feeble of late, but was still able to be up an about the premises. He ate dinner Sunday then lay down for a nap, asking his daughter-in-law to bathe his feet before he went to sleep. A short time afterwards he had a sinking spell and the family became alarmed. He lost consciousness and they telegraphed Dr. Spitler of Wellington; but when the doctor arrived, Mr. Allen was too far gone to be restored, owing his feeble condition, there being no hope of rallying him from the comatose state in which he finally passed away.
