The Ionia Sentinel, Thursday, August 15, 1918

The funeral for Mrs. M. J. Allen was held from the late residence on West Main 
street, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock.  The pall bearers were: Amasa 
Morrison, John E. Morrison, Robert Patrick, Elmer Cowan, Edward Cowan, and 
John McKendry.  Interment was in Balcom cemetery, in Berlin township.

Rev. R. J. Slee read the following obituary, on which he enlarged by more 
personal remarks, in which he paid a high tribute to the life of Mrs. Allen.

Mrs. M. J. Allen passed away at the home on West Main street on Monday, August 
12th, at 5:30 p.m.  She was the daughter of John E. and Eliza Morrison, who 
departed this life in 1880 and 1884, respectively.  The parents were among the 
first settlers of Ionia county.

Mrs. Allen was born in South Ionia, and was united in marriage to M. J. Allen 
on October 15, 1871, and began housekeeping on their farm west of Palo, in 
Ronald township, soon after their marriage.  She was a consistent member of 
the M.E. church for the past twenty years, uniting at first with the Palo 
church, and later with the church in this city.

Deceased is survived by her husband, one brother, one sister, and several 
nephews and nieces. 

Mrs. Allen was a woman of strong character—a womanly woman, devoted to her 
home, and was greatly loved by all who knew her.

Expression of Gratitude:

We wish to express our appreciation and thanks for all kindness shown the late 
Mrs. M. J. Allen during her long illness, and for the sympathy and beautiful 
flowers at the time of her death.

M.J. Allen and Relatives.
