**Shares a stone with Mary (Steward) Williams & Elizabeth Ann (Whitcraft) Williams.**
The Holton Recorder, April 24, 1884:
Otho C. Allen died at the residence of his uncle, Dr. J. L. Williams Saturday morning, April 19, 1884, of consumption, aged twenty- three years, seven months and six days. The deceased was born in Morgan county, Ohio, and came to Kansas twenty-four years ago last fall. During the winter of 1881-82 he attended college at Paola, and it was during this time that he probably contracted the disease which finally ended his life. Although afflicted he did not give up but secured a school and although was of but limited experience was regarded as an excellent teacher. The winter before the one just past he engaged to teach the Circleville school .... Thinking last fall that a trip south and a change to a milder climate might be of advantage to him, last October he went by easy stages to Ringgold, Georgia .... in February Dr. Williams went after him and brought him home to die .... Mr. Allen was a member of the Christian church. His funeral, at the Methodist church, last Sunday, was attended by a large concourse of citizens. Rev. A. Motter delivered a most excellent and appropriate address. Rev. J. W. Faubion assisted in the service.
