DEATH OF MRS. P.P. ALLEN,

Mrs. Peter P. Allen died at the home of her aunt Mrs. Daniel Weed of this 
city, June 23, at 5 o'clock a.m., of dropsy.

Although dangerously ill for a month, was only confined to her bed two days. 
She came from her own home in Greendale Twonship only two weeks ago that she 
might receive the services of Dr. Magill.

She was married Oct. 6th, 1886 to Mr. Allen of Eaton county, at the home of 
Mr. Weed, with whom she lived. One of the friends that assisted with her 
bridal robes clothed her in those same satin robes for burial.

Her maiden name was Anna Bronk, being the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
John Bronk of Greendale township. She was born at Smith's Crossing, March 2, 
1869. She leaves a husband, father, mother, three brothers, John, Leon, and 
Dannie; four sisters, Mrs. G. Starks of Homer, Mrs. E. Winogle of Lee, Mrs. 
Harris of Saginaw and Rosa, to mourn her loss; besides three small children, 
Roy, Janie and Lottie, who are left without a loving mother's care.

It had been her desire to unite with the M.E. church but as she did not live 
convenient to one her desire had never been fulfilled.

The funeral services were held at Mr. Weed's conducted by Rev. C.W. Butler 
of the Homer M. E. church. She was interred in the Homer Cemetery. Kind 
friends lined and decorated the grave with evergreens and flowers.

Besides the relatives already mentioned there were in attendance, her uncle 
Henry Boyce of Coleman, her aunt Mrs. Brightman of Lee, her sister-in-law 
Mrs. C.E. Coon of Shepard and C.W. Brown of Grand Ledge. There were also 
numerous other friends from the different townships.

"A precious one from us is gone;
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.".
