Obituary
Mary Prudence Cook was born April 6, 1856 in Montgomery county Iowa and passed 
away at her home in Fruitland, Idaho Friday afternoon, August 21st at 1:30.  
She was 75 years, 4 months and 15 days old at the time of her death.
 
She was married to Sullivan D. Allen, November 21, 1875.  They moved to 
Wheeler County, Nebraska in 1887, then to Boone County, Nebraska in 1890.  
They came to Fruitland in June 1922, where they since made their home.
 
She was preceded in death by their only child, Bert Wallace Allen, who died in 
Fruitland, July 10, 1922, and by her husband who died Feb. 28, 1931.
 
She is survived by four grandchildren, Mrs. Roy Horn of Fruitland, Walter, 
Wallace and Gordon Allen, all of Zillah, Washington, seven grandchildren, one 
sister, Mrs. P. E. Silkett of Fruitland and one brother, Isaac Cook of 
Norfork, Nebraska.  She also leaves a large circle of friends who will greatly 
miss her.  She was always an asset to the community, and had the love and 
respect of all who knew her.
 
Funeral services were held from the Baptist church Saturday afternoon at 2 
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Herschel Shan of Beaumont and Rev. Glen Garner.  A 
large number of sorrowing friends gathered to pay their last respects to one 
so dear.  The many and beautiful floral offerings were silent tributes of the 
respect and esteem in which she was held in the community.  Interment was made 
beside Mr. Allen in Riverside Cemetery in Payette.
