Allen, J. G. –
J. G. Allen, formerly an employee in the F. W. Hill shoe store in Corning, died Monday of this week in an Omaha hospital, of Bright's disease. He had been ill for weeks before the end came. The body will be brought to Corning tomorrow morning on train number six, and the funeral procession will go from the train to the McClellan cemetery, southwest of Brooks, where internment will be made. Rev. E. A. Moore, pastor of the M. E. church, will have charge of the funeral and the. Masonic fraternity will have the services at the grave.

Mr. Allen was born in New York state, Dec. 23, 1852, and was almost 66 years old at the time of his death. He was married 28 years ago to Miss May Lafleur, in this county, and to them were born two children, Italia and Harriet who with the mother survive their father. For a number of years the family lived in Corning but recently removed to Omaha where Mr Allen died.—Adams County Union Republican, Wed. Dec. 11, 1918.

The Allen family lived in Lenox for several years, moving to Corning about four years ago.
