MARTHA ALLEN PASSES Following an illness of several days, during which she suffered much, Mrs. Martha Allen, mother of Hugh Allen, passed away at the home of her son on Memorial day. All that mortal could do was done to relieve her suffering and save her life, but to no avail. Little by little her strength waned and it became evident that she could not last long. Martha Davis Allen was born in Georgetown, Kentucky, August 28, 1854, and she died May 30, 1929, having lived to the ripe old age of 74 years, 9 months and 2 days. She was married October 28, 1872, to Wm. Smith Allen, of Louisiana, Missouri, who preceded her in death on March 4, 1926. She joined the Pilgrim Congregational church in St. Louis, Mo., many years ago and remained true to her faith. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. Fraser. She was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery. She leaves to mourn her death, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Allen and a number of nephews and nieces all of whom, particularly Mr. and Mrs. Allen, have the sympathy of everyone in their sorrow.
