R. I. Allen
Mr. R. I. Allen died Wednesday, Aug. 26th, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. H. Hartley in Maben. He was buried here Thursday morning in Oakwood Cemetery. Mr. Allen was sixty odd years old, and had lived near Maben for only a short while, having lived most of his life in this county where he was loved and admired by everyone. He was a Confederate soldier and belonged to the Statham Farrell Camp.
But he is gone! Another name is stricken from the ever lessening of our old settlers and a solitary woman in the sunset of life, and a lonely home, are left to attest how sadly they will miss him. It must be so; these tender human ties cannot be severed without a pang. Yet in such a death there is really no cause for grief. His life work was done and well done. How much this community owes to him and such as he, it is impossible to estimate. He lived nobly and died peacefully. The stern Reaper found him, "as a shock of corn, fully ripe for the harvest."
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church, of which he had been a faithful member for most of his life, Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. A. Hall officiating, and beautiful tributes were paid to the memory of the deceased. The casket was covered with the most beautiful floral designs loving fingers ever wrought, all of which spoke of peace, purity and immortality. The music rendered was such as to soften all hearts and moisten all eyes. At the close of the services an unusual long procession followed the remains to the cemetery where they were interred with Mason honors. He leaves a wife, daughters and three sons their loss.
