Allen and Henry Allen of Beat 11 Bob, Jodie and Willie Allen of Doerun, Ga; besides a host of other relatives. ___
MR. JOHN ALLEN CALLED HOME Mr. John Allen of Micaville, died Sunday morning about three o'clock, Jan. 20, 1929 at the home of his son Mr. Lee Allen, after a few weeks illness of flu. Mr. Allen was 89 years, four months and 20 days old. He was born in Hall County, Georgia and came to Alabama when 12 years old. He married Mrs. Lizzie York, who had gone on some years ago. Mr. Allen joined the Methodist church about 40 years ago and had lived a devoted christian the remainder of his life. He leaves to mourn his going five children; also 34 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren and many friends and relatives. He was a dear father, a good neighbor and a friend to all. But, oh, how you will miss dear father, ye children, from your home. But there is nothing surer than death and nothing sweeter than the death of a child of god. If we only live as the lord would have us live, it won't be long until we shall meet him in that bright mansion where sad partings come no more. Oh, how sweet it will be to meet him on that happy golden shore. "The golden gates were opened, a gentle voice said "come", and with farewells unspoken, he calmly entered home." Written by a true friend, Mrs. Edna Merrill Traylor ___
Note: Edna Merrill Traylor is the older sister of Emory Merrill, the son-in-law of Mr. Lee Allen.
