Lee Center - Mrs. Mary Allen was found dead about 6:30 last evening at her home about a mile and a half west of Lee Center at the hamlet known as Allentown. Coroner G. N. Lehr of Rome was summoned. His investigation developed that Mrs. Allen had been calling on a neighbor and left there at 4:30 or 5 pm. Her nephew, William Allen, who lived with her, returned from his work about 6 o'clock and found her in the barn, lying dead near a cow. She had evidently gone there to feed the cattle and died suddenly from heart trouble, with which she had been afflicted for the past two years. Coroner Lehr deemed an inquest unnecessary. Mrs. Allen was 65 years old on May 5, just passed. She was the daughter of the late William Allen and Melinda Tharret. She was born in Lee Center and always lived here. Her husband died several years ago. Besides the nephew mentioned above she is survived by one sister, Mrs. John Merchant, of Rome.
