Monticello News
  (Newspaper Article)
  " Harris Newton Allen, was born at Eudora, GA. in the year 1835, on the 10th 
day of October.  His father was William Allen and mother Pheobe Horton.  He was 
married many years ago to Mary Jane Price, daughter of Leroy M. Price.  He is 
survived by five children:  Mrs. W. A. White of Monticello, GA. Mrs J. G. 
Hardy, of Ben Hill, GA.  Mrs. Lucy Millen,  Mrs. Kelsey Johnson, and Miss 
Maggie Allen, of Mechanicsville, GA. He moved early in life to Mechanicsville, 
GA. and spent most of his life in that community, except in his declining days, 
when he lived with his children.  He served in the War Between The States, as a 
brave and courageous Confederate soldier, and was at one time wounded, which no 
doubt hastened him to his grave.  His church membership was the Mt. Zion 
Christian Church.  He was a deacon in this church at time of his death.  He was 
devoted to his church, and was a firm believer that Jesus died for the sins of 
the world, and rose again that all who believe in Him should not perish but 
have life eternal.  His death occurred at the home of his sister Mrs. John C. 
Key, in Monticello, GA., Jan. 8th, 1912.  His last resting place on earth is in 
Mt. Zion Christian Church Cemetery, at Mechanicsville, GA., beside that of his 
life companion.  His body lies there gently sleeping while the Georgia pine 
sings its sad anthem to the host of the unreplying dead.
  " Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the 
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but 
unto all them that love His appearing."
