Allen, Rush R. –
Rush R. Allen died by his own hand at his home in Creston, on Friday evening about 10:30. Mr. Allen laid on the floor in the kitchen and turned on the gas. He was found when his wife and daughters returned home from a
neighboring call.

Mr. Allen was a son of the late Mrs. J. West Jones, of this city. He was well known throughout this section. For the past two years he has been in failing health and despondency over this fact was doubtless the cause of his
suicide.

He leaves a wife and three grown daughters.

Funeral services were held at the home on Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. W. Graham, pastor of the Methodist church.
