The remains of Allen Chandler, a young man whom we understand was born and raised in this city, were brought here Tuesday afternoon from Eagle Lake, and buried in the cemetery west of town. He was a son of the late Tom Chandler, a young man of about 24 or 25 years, an industrial[sic] moral young man, possessing many friends throughout this section, and his death at a time when life promised most is deeply and sincerely deplored. Mr. Chandler was married about eighteen months ago, and is survived by his widow and numerous relatives. Our sincere sympathy is extended the bereaved friends and relatives.
