From The Spalding Enterprise, Thursday, November 22, 1934, page 1, transcribed by Linda Berney:
Dennis F. Allard was born in Gallipolis, Ohio, January 26, 1858, and departed this life at his farm home at Spalding, Nebraska, on Monday, November 12, 1934 at the age of 76 years, 9 months, and 17 days, after an illness of nine weeks, due to a paralytic stroke.
He lived at home in Gallipolis until fourteen years of age, when he moved with his father and mother to Richland County, Illinois. In the summer of 1877 he came to Ottumwa, Iowa, going from there to Omaha, Nebraska in the fall of 1879. He lived in Omaha, David City, Stuart and O'Neill until 1885, when he came to Greeley County, where he has made his home since that time with the exception of a short absence. Thus he was one of the pioneers of Greeley County, coming as he did, shortly after the first railroad was built into Greeley Center and before the first church was built there.
On April 23, 1893, he was united in marriage to Anna M. Gillespie. To this union ten children were born, William, Teenie and Charles, who have preceded him to the Better Home, Mary Allard Erickson of Ericson, Nelz and Dennis of Omaha, Margaret, Oliver, James and Arthur at home.
He leaves to mourn his passing, his loving wife, seven children, seven grandchildren and one brother, Nelson F. Allard of Primrose, other relatives and many friends.
He was converted and joined the fellowship of the church at 18 years of age, and has been a consistent and active member since that time.
As a charter member of the Methodist church at Greeley he was a member of the church board, class leader, teacher in Sunday school, and caretaker of the church. Later when he made his home at Spalding, he united with the Spalding Presbyterian church and was active in the work of that church, being Bible Class teacher at the time of his last illness.
He was a conscientious, hard-working man, with high ideals. He was a kind and loving husband and father , thoughtful of others and always solicitous for the welfare of those he lvoed.

Former Resident Buried Tuesday –
Funeral services conducted by the Rev. Primrose of St. Paul were held Tuesday afternoon at Spalding for Mr. D. F. Allard who passed away at his home early Monday morning. Mr. Allard suffered a paralytic stroke several weeks ago since which time he has been confined to his bed in a serious condition, with little hopes expressed for his recovery. Interment was made in Hillside Cemetery here.
The Allard family formerly lived in Wolbach where they operated a bakery, moving to a farm near Spalding several years ago.
The deceased is survived by his wife and several grown children. Mrs. Allard is a daughter of "Grandma" Gillespie of this place. We have been unable to get an obituary for publication this week. The sympathy of old friends here is extended to the sorrowing family.
