DEATH OF MRS. ALLIN.
Mrs. Henry Allin died at her home on Tremont street, this city, on Friday
morning, at half past nine o¹clock.

Mrs. Allin had been a sufferer for some years with catarrh and asthma and a
few weeks ago was laid low by a severe attack of the grip. These
complications baffled the skill of physicians, Mrs. Allin being in such
feeble condition as to offer but little resistance to her maladies.

The decedent was a native of England, having been born in Berkshire, April
4, 1836.

Mr. and Mrs. Allin have resided in LeMars for the past seventeen or eighteen
years and Mrs. Allin has endeared herself to many people by her goodness and
virtues. During her residence here she has been closely identified with good
works, being a member of the Episcopal church. She was one of the few
instrumental in establishing and maintaining a church of this denomination
in LeMars and for fourteen years has been deeply interested in and devoted
to Sunday school work.

Besides a husband, she leaves five daughters: Mrs. Geo. Mills, of Pelican
Rapids, Minn.; Mrs. Alex Adams, of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Mrs. Chas.
Lever, of Leeds; Misses Agnes and Bertha Allin, of LeMars.

The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at St. George¹s church, which was
crowded in respect to the memory of the deceased. Rev. S. C. Gaynor and Rev.
C. H. Goodman conducted the services and the remains were laid to rest in
the City Cemetery.

All her daughters were present at the end, excepting Mrs. Alex Adams, who
was unable to come on account of sickness in her own family.

NOTE: LeMars Cemetery burial records give her first name as Annie S. She is buried in Block 10 of the cemetery with her husband, Henry Allin.
