Death of Mr. Robt. H.Allen

Mr. Robert H.Allen, familiarly called "Uncle Bob" died
at the home of his son, Mr.Josiah Allen in Williamson
last Friday after a lingering illness. He was eighty
seven years of age and had been in declining health for
a number of years, having lost his eyesight entirely a
year ago or so. His wife preceded him to the grave about
six years ago.


The deceased came to this county with his father in
1826, two years old, who settled on the W.B.Ballard old
place. He was well and favorably known over the county
and this section and always took an active interest in
all public matters. He was of a genial disposition and
loved the company of his friends. He leaves four sons,
all well known citizens, namely: Messrs Josiah, Lewis,
and John Allen of Williamson, and Carlton Allen of
Bainbridge.


Funeral services were held at Red Oak church of which he
was a member at Williamson and conducted by his pastor,
Rev. J.B.Allen, on Saturday morning after which he was
buried in the church cemetery.
