About six o’clock Saturday A.M. the subject of this sketch passed away at his residence in Black River. He had been ill with a fever for some weeks, but a hemorrhage that could not be controlled was the immediate cause of his death.
Mr. Allen was born at Richville in 1858, and removed with his mother to Black River, where he has resided since the age of ten years. In 1886 he was married to Martha Comins who, with a son, a daughter and a widowed mother survives him.
He was employed as a foreman in Dexter Sons’ chair factory for some years, was a prominent member of the Sons of Temperance, and the superintendent of the M. E. Sabbath School.
Mr. Allen was public-spirited and enterprising, and was a favorite with everyone.
His loss will be felt in the factory, the church, and the whole village, as well as the Sabbath school work throughout the county. But it will come with most crushing force on his own home circle, from which he was taken in the prime of his useful life.
Mr. Allen leaves behind him a record of work well done whatever lines of duty he has labored.
His funeral was held in the M. E. Church, at Black River, at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon.
