Allen A. HIGGINS, a resident of Yuma County for 30 years, died Monday morning 
at his country home some 10 miles south of Eckley.  Funeral services were held 
at Bethel Church, south of Eckley, Wednesday morning.  Rev. Roscoe WHITTENBURG 
officiating and the interment was at the Eckley Cemetery.

He was born in Ringgold County, Iowa in 1870.  Something like 35 years later 
he moved to Yuma County and took up a homestead 10 miles south of Eckley.  The 
family has resided in that section ever since, but the quarter section has 
grown to over three full sections, although the original homestead continues 
to be part of the present big farm.  Mr. HIGGINS was known as one of the most 
successful wheat and corn growers in northeastern Colorado.

He leaves his helpmate of many years, ten children, five married and five 
single, eight granchildren, three brothers and two sisters.  The brothers are 
Marion A. HIGGINS, Harry HIGGINS and Carl HIGGINS, all of whom reside in or 
near Yuma.  The sisters are Mrs. Lulu GILMORE of Otis and Mrs. Minnie REYNOLDS 
of Delphos, Iowa.
