A Former Resident of Calistoga Dies at Riverside. Andra Ann Cooper was born at Massena, St. Lawrence county, NY., October 1, 1835, and fell asleep February 8, 1908, aged 72 years, 4 months and 7 days.
She was married to Abner W. Allen of the same place December 2, 1853, with whom she lived up to the date of her decease, the only interruption being at the period of the civil war when her husband served as a soldier. Six children and her husband survive her, all being with her in her last moments.
Her early life was spent in association with the Methodist denomination, but after her marriage she took her niece with her husband as a Baptist being on active member of that church until about twenty years ago at Calistoga, under the ministration of Elder Burden she heard the truth taught by the Seventh Day Adventists, and became impressed that it was her duty to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath, and after a careful study of the scriptures, embraced the whole truth and, opportunity offering, she joined the church and was baptized in that faith in January, 1904, and has ever since been an active and consistent member. With remarkable clearness of mind at the last, usual for one of her age, she selected the hymns to be sung at her funeral and the text. No detail left by her was unattended to or forgotten.
