J.W. Allibone Dead.
An Honored Citizen Called Home. 
Last Friday afternoon the citizens of Washington were grief stricken on learning
that J.W. ALLIBONE was pronounced by his physician as beyond the aid of medical
aid. People were surprised for his illness was but of a few days and many
persons were not aware he was sick at all. Sundya he was in his usual good
health and sang in the Presbyterian choir in the morning and played in the
orchestra in the afternoon. He did not feel well enough to attend church in the
evening and did not return to his work Monday morning and a physician was called
Tuesday, pronouncing the complaint pneumonia. The best of attention was given
him, but the stubborn disease would not yield to medical treatment. Friday
afternoon his physican gave up hope, but Saturday morning he took courage again.
All day Saturday it was a battle for life with the sick man and a little past
midnight the end came. He was conscious only a part of the time, but during
consciousness realized his conditioin and talked to his!
  wife about business affairs. Though anxious to live he was prepared to die.
His funeral was held Monday at 2 p.m. from the residence, sermon preached by Dr.
Hageman and the remains laid to rest in the cemetery south of town. 

Joseph W. ALLIBONE was born of English parentage May 27, 1860, in Washington
county, Minnesota. In 1865 he went to England with his parents, and there at the
age of seven he began a musical education and showed a talent for music. In 1869
they moved back to America and settled in their old home in Minnesota. Joseph
sepnt his boyhood days there, attending the common schools taking great interest
in his study and with music. From there he moved to Lincoln Co., South Dakota,
at the age of 18, remaining there five years, and in the spring of 1883, he was
attracted to Washington county, Kansas. he soon made warm friends here and took
well with the business men. He was maried here in 1888 to Miss Dora ANDERSON and
from that union there are two children, both living. Mr. Allibone was a faithful
member of the Episcopal church and was confirmed in Minnesota. He took a great
interest in the church, particularly with the music. 
In business Mr. Allibone ranked high, doing most of the insurance business of
the city and for six years had held the position of assistant cashier in the
First National Bank. He was insured for $3,000, A.O.U.W., $2,000, and Knights
and Ladies of Security, $1,000.
There are left as mourners for him, two brothers, two sisters, a devoted wife
and two children. By his death Washington will feel the loss of a good citizen,
an honest business man and a Christian gentleman. The kind sympathy of all rests
with Mrs. Allibone and all connected with the family.
