A TRIItl iK
In the morning of Friday, June;
the third very early, the death;
angel visited the home of Mr. P.!
H. Allen, and called him from j
Labor to his Keward.
The writer of this knew him [
welt. Mr. Allen was a trustful!
| man. In his own ability he knew
what it took to make a good citi-j
zen.
I I wouldn't be specially inter- 1
ested in Mr. Allen but because of j
'the work and good he did while;
| he lived. Mr. Allen was a spot-;
less man. There was no one who;
icould touch him. He/carried a!
| loving and kindness to all those;
|that knew him best. His influ-|
jence in the community in which;
I he lived was great. Then all who !
knew him was his friend.
Mr. Allen was 67 years of age. ;
! In his ways of living and dealing I
jwith his fellowman was a Chris-!
tian service. He was willing to j
j help all those who call on him.
Mr. Allen was a great man. a
gentleman and a scholar. He was;
loved by all.
Loutsburg has lost a great man,
a great' man in Israel has fallen.
The need of Mr. Allen at pres- j
ent is so great and his interest in j
our to^rn welfare was so keen that
'his death seems impossible. It
ilSeems such a hideous dream, but
j surely God has his mysteries of
grace and ways we cannot tell,
j There was no justice to Ohe
; well to do that he didn't accord
> readily and cheerfully. There was i
! no mercy to the poor and the sor
rowing that he didn't minister to,
j the limit of his power. We can
( nob express our grief when a good i
'man dies. The community feels
[the vacancy when an Intelligent
mind is withdrawn forever from
its service.
| It is true he has his period of
i youth and of old age, but like the!
1 oak whose withered branches
1 have stood the storms and gales
jof years gone by. I shall not at<
i tempt to sour the safety height of
fames and his character, neither (
will I plough the depth of his
manhood, but I do say he was a
man. Mr. F. H. Allen leaves a
wife and six children and two
brothers and a host of friends.
Mr. Allen isn't det.d but' -he has
just turned the corner.

personal notices, either by corres
pondents or newspapers, are not
intended as a special compliment!
to those whose names are men

interest to themselves, their
friends and other readers of the
papers. It may be said also after
quite a little bit of experience
that I have never yet known a
person to object to having his
name put in the paper in a pleas
ant way. As to the other way
around, well, that's something
else.
