ALLMAN, JOHN M.
(28 March 1924, Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Mr. J. M. Allmon, prominent citizen of the Highway community northeast of
Carter, died at his home Saturday afternoon, of pneumonia.
Mr. Allmon had been in bad health for a long time, being a sufferer from
neuritis.  He made a trip to Mineral Wells, Texas, during the winter for
his health, returning home some time ago.  He was in a weakened condition
when stricken with the attack of pneumonia.
Mr. Allmon was one of the first settlers of the Highway community and has
lived on his home place for the past 25 years, and was one of the more
influential citizens of that community.
Rev. Thomas of Elk City conducted the funeral services at the Highway
school auditorium on Sunday afternoon, after which the remains were laid
away in the Poarch cemetery, the Masonic Fraternity having charge of the
burial service.
Mr. Allmon leaves a wife and several children, all of the children being
married.  All were present at the funeral except his youngest daughter who
resides in California.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to extend to our friends and neighbors our heartfelt thanks for
their kindness during the illness and death of our husband and father.
