While joking and laughing with his companions, S. K. Allensworth, 54-year-old switchman for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. and widely known citizen of Guthrie, fell face forward from a table in the yard office, at 3 o'clock January 10 and died instantly, the result of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Mr. Allensworth had gone to the yards as usual and at thet time of his death was awaiting his time check. His son-in-law, Minor Reasons, who was standing in front of him partially broke the weight of the fall, catching the body as it hurled forward. He was lifeless when his friends gathered about him.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Jennie Taliaferro Allensworth (who lived until 1982), whom he married in 1895, and six children, Thomas, of Montgomery, AL, Mrs. Mary Reasons and Miss Betsy Allensworth of Guthrie, S. J.. Typ and Billy Allensworth, all of Guthrie, and another son, Welker, died in 1916.
Mr. Allensworth had been in good health and his death is a sudden and severe shock to the community. On going to work he stopped at a drug store and complained of not feeling very well, but it was not thought that he was ill. He was a member of the Christian Church, having joined it in early childhood. At the time of his death he was an elder and assistant Sunday School superintendent of that church.
By his genial and jovial disposition, Mr. Allensworth had many friends.
