Nelson K. Allman, for many years a well known Garrett contractor, died at 4:10 o'clock Monday morning at the age or eighty-two years at his home at 519 South Franklin street as the result of two paralytic strokes within the last ten days.
On July 26 Mr. Allman suffered his first stroke, which left his left side paralyzed. and the second stroke came Sunday at noon. He became unconscious Saturday.

Three children, all by the first wife, survive. They are Clyde Allman of Fort Wayne, A. L. Allman, who lived with his father, and Mrs. Bonnie Foster of Oakland, Calif. There also are six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Mr. Allman was a member of the Masonic order.
Funeral services have been set for Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home, with burial in Union cemetery. The Rev. H. C. Odell of the Baptist church will officiate. The body is being prepared for burial at the Iler funeral home and will be taken to the residence Tuesday morning.
