Portland Observer – Tuesday, 10 April 1877
It becomes our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of John the survivor 
of the beautiful twin boys given to our friends, Dr. and Mrs. Allen.  The 
doctor and his wife have so endeared themselves in the affections of the 
people, that we remember now the kindly interest manifested when a year ago 
the advent of the little strangers was announced among us.

Wells was first called to leave and now John has gone to join his twin brother 
in the home that never shall be saddened by the death of any of its inmates.  
Our sympathy goes out warmly toward the bereaved parents, and we can only 
point them to the hopes of the blessed hereafter for consolation.  John Allen, 
only surviving son of G. D. and Laura Allen, was born in Portland, April 17th, 
1876, and died of lung fever, April 3d, 1877.

The funeral was held at the residence of Dr. Allen on April 5th, Elder Cornell 
officiating.  A few tender words by the minister, a tribute of song by some of 
the friends and then the form of the little one was committed back to the care 
of our common mother earth.
