ALLEN,Anna K. b.7 Oct 1882 d.25 apr 1902 Carter Cemetery 
*Carter,Beckham
Co.,Ok., W/O James ALLEN

Mrs.James ALLEN died Friday,the 25th,and was intered in the cemetery 
near
Wash Saturday.Rev.DONOHOE conducted the burial services,and his talk 
was
very impressive.There was a large crowd of sympathizing people pesent 
to
pay their last respects to the young wife.Her coffin was covered with
beautiful wreathes,as she was loved by all who knew her.She leaves a
child one month old.She was a good loving Christian woman.Just before 
she
died she called her friends and relatives to her bedside and kissed 
them
goodbye.To her husband she said:"James,I am happy,aren't you?Let me
go,let me go! "and passed away as if going to sleep.Blessed are they 
that
die in the Lord.Father,mother and husband,while it is said to lose a
loving daughter and wife,you should praise the Lord for the evidence 
you
have that Anna is at rest with her Savior.March 15,1901,the first grave
was dug here,and now,there are 15'over one per month.We can see that
death is abroad in the land,and we should all live to die,!
like Anna,in a Savior's love.
