Morris Herald, Jun 1889
George Allan - That "death loves a shining mark" is again exemplified in 
taking away of George Allan, youngest son of Thomas and Agnes Allan, at the 
family residence in the town of Saratoga, a few miles north of Morris, on 
Wednesday morning, June 26th, 1889, at 7 o'clock. Deceased was born near 
Lisbon, Kendall county, April 4th, 1862. When but an infant his parents moved 
to the farm in Saratoga, where he grew to manhood, gaining with his years the 
respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He was always strong 
and robust, never needing the attention of a physician until October last when 
health begain to fail and rapidly he declined. During his sickness he had 
every attention which loving hands could bestown. Three physicians from 
Morris, and Dr. Johnson, of Chicago, prescribed for him, but without avail. 
Latterly it was thought he was improving but the seal of death was upon him. 
He realized his situation, seemingly better than did those around him, and 
quietly passed away without a few of what the future might have in store for 
him.  The funeral will take place at the family residence today, Thursday, at 
1 o'clock, Rev. Irving of the Morris Baptist church, officiating. The remains 
will be interred in the East Morris cemetery. He leaves a father, mother, two 
brothers and two sisters. Into this family death enters for the first time. 
The sympathy of a large circle of friends goes out to the bereaved.
