Funeral services were held at the Glendale Methodist Church Friday, July 4, for William Green Allard, 91 who passed away at his home in Robbs, July 2, following an illness of many months. The service was in charge of Rev. Thomas Isaac, assisted by Rev. Louis Purcell. Interment was in the Glendale Cemetery.

The following obituary was read at the service.

William Green Allard, son of David and Rosanna Allard, was born Jan. 19, 1850 and departed this life July 2, 1941, age 91 years, 5 months and 18 days.

He was married to Clarka Epperhammer July 26, 1868. To this union four children were born, all of whom preceded him in death except Mrs. Arminda Feezor of Jonesboro, Ark. On September 18, 1900 his wife answered the death summons and on May 12, 1901, he was united in marriage to Ida Boaz. To this union three children were born, Lena, Inez and Effie. Lena and Effie died in infancy.

Uncle Green, as he was lovingly called by all who knew him, was converted at an early age and joined the church at County Line. A few years later he and some others organized and built the Glendale Methodist church, where he placed his membership and remained a faithful member until death. He was an active trustee of the church as long as his health permitted him to attend and when no longer active, he was retained as an honorary member.

He was stricken with paralysis March 15, 1940, and had been confined to his bed ever since. May 9, 1941, gangrene set in and in spite of medical aid and loving and tender care, the grim reaper pushed his frail body across the harbor bar on July 2.

He leaves to mourn his departure his loving and faithful wife, two daughters, Mrs. Fred Anderson of Robbs, who with her husband so unselfishly and tenderly ministered to him during his illness, and Mrs. Arminda Feezor of Jonesboro, Ark.; 12 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and two step-sons, Coy Boaz of Eldorado, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.

Uncle Green was a patient sufferer, a loving companion, and his life of industry, integrity and uprightness will live long after him as an example for his many friends and neighbors. Truly this world is a better place in which to live, because Uncle Green has lived.
