Old Hesper Resident Dead.
Mrs. Mary Chase received the intelligence Monday that her brother, David Allen had died suddenly on Nov 29 at Ashland, Wis., where he has resided since 1887. He had been out to attend some religious services, and shortly after returning to his lodgings a noise as of some one falling was heard. His landlady went to his room and found him lying on the floor with a bruise over one eye. A physician was called but Mr. Allen was dead. Heart failure was attributed as the cause. Mr. Allen was an early resident of Hesper township. He was born in New York in 1831 and came to Minnesota when twenty-one. He is survived by three children.
