It was Thursday of last week, but four days ago that the deceased was taken ill and the attending physician pronounced the affliction, peritonitis. Naturally a strong, active, and healthy young woman, no fatal consequences were anticipated, though from the very commencement it was known that her Illness was of a very serious character. The affliction, however, grew rapidly worse from its Inception. and in less than forty-eight hours the family realized that the battle between life and death was being waged and the result hung in the balance until this morning, when the soul took Its flight and Emma Allen had entered the great beyond.
Emma Allen was widely known throughout the city, loved and respected by all. She attended the First ward school and afterward the High from which she graduated with high honors in 1893. Of the class of ten that graduated in that year from the Institution, its rank Is first broken by the death of Emma Allen. After leaving school the deceased bent her energies to the study, of music and the profession has seldom had a more ceaseless and tireless worker, than she. She was a pianist of whom much was hoped for, and predicted by, her friends, but little they knew how brief was her time on this earth.
She was one of the six children living of Mr. and Mrs. Allen, and was born Dec. 26, 1874. and was therefore but slightly. past twenty-two years of age. In rellglous work in Trinity church she also took a deep Interest and It was very, seldom that she failed to attend the Sunday servlces.
Besides the father and mother, five brothers and sisters are left to mourn the loss. They are Lieutenant H. A. Allen of Chicago, Thomas E. Allen, Edward W. Allen of this city, Mrs. Julian West of Tomahawk, Wis., and Miss Mary N. Allen now In Boston taking musical Instructions. They are all expected to arrive in time to attend the funeral, save the younger sister In Boston. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. -
