Carrie May Allen, sister of Miss Rose Allen, who formerly resided in Peekskill, died at the residence of Mr. Louis Hunt, on Orchard Street, Sunday, September 28th, at 11:17 P.M.
She was born in Troy, January 8th, 1868, the daughter of James and Christian Allen. She is survived by a sister Rose Allen and two brothers, James and Alfred, of Bradley Beach, N.J.
When but five years of age she was stricken with spinal meningitis, which deprived her of the power of speech and hearing. In spite of this affliction, she was always bright and cheerful, and by her keen observation, learned to do and enjoy many things in life.
Of an artistic temperament, she made good use of her five years in the Albany Home School for the deaf and dumb; and both her painting and embroidery show she had decided talent in that line.
While there she made many friends, who often corresponded with her, keeping her in touch with them, tho' residing many miles apart from each other.
Last March while living with her sister at Bradley Beach, she was stricken with valvular heart trouble and taken to the Ida May Hospital, at Spring Lake, N. J., where 'twas thought, by the physicians she had but (next line of the article is unreadable)
She rallied sufficiently, however, to be taken to New York in an ambulance, May 1st, 1913, and in accordance with a longed-for-desire to come to Peekskill, was brought to the home of Miss Carrie Angell, where everything was done to comfort and cheer her.
In August, she was moved to the home of Louis Hunt, where she could sit on the broad piazza, drinking in the beauties of God's out of doors which she loved so much.
About two weeks ago a change for the worse came, but with steadfast faith in her Savior, she patiently prayed, waiting for release from her suffering, and translation to the home prepared for her in God's holy presence, where those she "loved long since and lost awhile" were waiting to greet her.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, October 1st, at 2:00 p. m., the Rev. Thomas C. Straus, of the Second Presbyterian Church, officiating. Interment at Hillside Cemetery.
