J. H. ALLENDER DIED SUDDENLY
Well Known Salina resident Died Yesterday Afternoon Aged 92 Years

Many friends in this city were shocked last evening when it was learned that J. H. ALLENDER had passed away about four o'clock at his home in Salina. Death came very suddenly to Mr. ALLENDER he having been ill only for a few minutes. His death was due to acute indigestion.

Jacob ALLENDER was at the time of his death the oldest man in Jefferson county, being nearly 92 years of age. Despite his advanced age he was hale and hearty and relatives and friends were not prepared in the least for the visit of the death angel.

Mr. ALLENDER was born in McConnellsburg, Penn., November 21, 1820. There he grew to young manhood and was married. In 1848 Mr. ALLENDER and family came to Jefferson county and a year later when the gold fever struck California and later spread to the west Mr. ALLENDER went to that state to prospect. In 1851 he returned and took up his residence on a farm northeast of this city and has since resided in that city.

In a few years his wife passed away and some years later he was again married to Miss Adaline TEMPLETON who preceeded (sic) him in death about five years ago. Mr. ALLENDER was the father of twelve children, four of whom are dead. They were Mrs. Martha VANCE, Mankato, Kas., Misses Emma and Myrtle ALLENDER and Rupert ALLENDER who died last year in Colorado.

Mr. ALLENDER was a public spirited man, interested in whatever was for the good of the community. He held the office of Justice of the Peace in Buchanan township for several years and was a member of theBoard (sic) of Supervisors of the county for seven years. He was a good neighbor and a kind friend and his home was noted for the oldfashioned hospitality which i t's (sic) head showered upon those who came in contact with him.

Eight children survive Mr. ALLENDER. They are as follows: Mrs. William HENDRICKS, of Richwoods; Mrs. W. A. HELMAN of Mankato,Kas.; Mrs. Odessa POWELL and Miss June ALLENDER who are at home; Miss Uloa ALLENDER, of Omaha, Neb.;Miss Willamette ALLENDER and Miss Gertrude ALLENDER of Pala Alto (sic), Calif.; and Thomas B.
