Obituary:
Mary J., daughter of William and Mary Edwards was born in Magnolia Township, Putnam County, Illinois, July 17, 1853. She was the youngest of a family of seven children, two of which Mrs. William Cassell and H.H. Edwards of Putnam County now survive. She was married to O.W. Allen, February 27, 1873 at the old homestead near which they resided many years, removing from their farm to Henry,
Illinois about nine years ago. Their married life has been a continued blessing. And theirs has been the contentment that comes to those that have been divinely plighted. While, their home was never blessed with children, she's accepted into her home, such as needed her care and council and these mourn her departure. She was of a gentle home-loving spirit patient in suffering, thoughtful of others, possessing the traits that make a most desirable companion for her husband and friends. Having been at times a shut-in, she never failed to remember such as were sick or lonely [illegible] Her's was a life of belief in an all wise Father and by reading from her bible, she had marked many passages, precious to her, from which she received daily comfort [illegible] On the evening of March 22, 1910, while cheerfully conversing with her husband and physician, she was stricken with apoplexy, and in two brief hours, her spirit had taken its flight. The funeral of Mrs. O.W. Allen was held at the residence, Friday afternoon, at 2:00, Reverend Bliss of Monica [sic: Tonica], Illinois assisted by Reverend Vivian of Henry. Relatives present were William Cassell and wife, H.H. Edwards, wife and daughters, Jenny and Helen and son Joseph, Harry Cassell and wife, Miss Ida Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Russ Foster, H.H. Morris of McNabb, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Alleman, Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Alleman, George Hetrick and wife of Florid, Mr. and Mrs. William Rowe, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Bishop, William Foster and wife, Joe Allen, wife and daughter of Magnolia, Mr. and Mrs. A. Foster of Depue, Illinois, Mrs. Jane Umbarger, G.F. Forney, Mrs. Melvin Forney, Mrs. Mable Worthington, George Arndt of Melvin, Illinois, Ervin Eberly and wife, Mrs. Oscar Frashier and son of Lostant, Illinois, Mr. and Mrs. Frances Morgan of Putnam, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wiemer of Moline, Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Detrick and Mrs. Mary Allen of Canton, Illinois.
