Weekly Republic, Springfield
Laid to rest "(The account of the funeral of the late Allen POWELL was 
prepared for Monday's issue but as unavoidably crowded out.--Ed.) Had anything 
been needed to pay a final tribute to the esteem and respect in which the late 
alien Powell was held, it was furnished in his funeral which occurred Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock, the services being conducted at the family residence, 
No. 102 Pearl St. The funeral was the largest and most impressive ever seen in 
Springfield. The turnout of Odd Fellows being the most extensive for years. 
Rev, 3.H. Roberts, of Trinity Baptist church, conducted the beautiful and 
impressive services and preached the funeral discourse. He spoke of the 
readiness of the deceased to meet his Maker, when the summons came in the 
awful form it took, he administered words of consolation and comfort to the 
bereaved widow and son and pointed the way to an eternal meeting which no 
agency could terminate so tragically or sever the united family. The floral 
emblems were most exquisite and completely embowered the handsome cloth casket 
in which the remains lay. The cruel accident did not mar the face or head and 
the features wore a peaceful expression. The funeral process^n was neaaea by 
Foreman's Band, and was made up of Odd Fellows, railroad men and Knights of 
Labor of which the deceased was formerly a member. At the grave at Ferncliff 
the solemn and impressive Odd Fellows service was used. The deceased was born 
Chester County, Pennsylvania, March 6, 1839 and was forty eight years, six 
months and three days old. He was united in marriage to Sallie E. KELLY, 
August 25, 1864. Two children were born to them, William G. who is a salesman 
at 3.M. Knotes, and Charlie, who died an infant and is buried Ferncliff.
