Tribute Of Respect

James A. Allen was born May the 28th and died at his home in Talbot county, 
Georgia on April the 16th, 1910.  The cause of his death was a gradual failing 
and weakness brought on by old age.

He was remarkable for his industry and success as a farmer and for his genuine 
sympathy for anyone in need.  He was truly a friend to all humanity.  He was 
accommodating and charitable, affable and courteous to all and when he grasped 
your hand and said, “I am your friend,” you felt secure in the assurance, for 
with solid integrity he had combined rare strength of character.  I speak 
advisedly, having been his friend and neighbor for over forty years.

In his youth, his opportunities for acquiring an education were very limited, 
as he was an important factor in the support of his father’s family.  But he 
was a remarkably close student of human nature and read the faces of his 
fellowmen with almost unerring retinency.  Some one once said that a college 
education would have spoiled Horace Greely, for it would have ironed all the 
individuality out of him.  The polishing, too often, takes away the character. 
Mr. Allen was a true diamond in the rough.

He leaves three sons – Messrs. John T., Jim and Joe Allen, and three 
daughters – Mesdames Wm. Gilbert, Sidney Cook and Tamp Cook.  His body was 
laid to rest beside the wife of his youth in Mathews Chapel Cemetery.  Revs. 
Heath and Hixon performing the funeral obsequies in a most impressive manner, 
in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives.
