Mrs. Cordelia Allen Dies at Broughton
Mrs. Cordelia Allen, 86, beloved resident of Broughton for many years, died Wednesday afternoon about four o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ollie Gregg in Broughton. She had been very ill for some time, suffering a stroke of paralyssi, which left her helpless.

Mrs. Allen is survived by one daughter Mrs. Gregg and two sons, C. W. Allen, Broughton, merchant and George Allen. She was the grandmother of James Gregg of Eldorado.
Funeral services will be held Friday at the M.E. Church in Broughton and interment will be in Gholson Cemetery near there.
