Final Chapter of HillsVille Tragedy'
Brought To Close Sunday
Afternoon.
MISS WISSLER GIVEN MEDA L
Numerous Floral. Offering Cov-v
ered Grave Of The Two .
Clansmen. - ' s
Hillsville, Va., March 31. The final
chapter of the Hillsville tragedy was
brought to atlose yesterday afternoon
when, in the presence of 5,000 people;
the funeral services of Floyd and Claude
Allen were held in the family burial
plot one mile from the home of Floyd
Allen at the foot of the Blue Ridge "
Mountain.
In spite of the heavy clouds which
continued all day and a slight rain
which fell throughout the afternoon,
people traveled more than thirty-five
miles to attend the dual funeral of
the men who paid the death penalty
The bodies arrived at the late home
of Floyd Allen Saturday afternoon at
o'clock. A short while afterwards
the caskets were opened and members
of the family viewed the faces of their
loved ones.
As early as 9 o'clock yesterday morn-
ng the crowd commenced to gather.
They came in conveyances, astride and
on foot Many came from Grayson, .
Wythe and Carroll Counties, scores of
them coming distances of -wenty-five
miles or more. By noon the crowd was
enormous, and it was conservatively
estimated at 5,000.
At 2 o'oclck the caskets were brought
Out of the home and placed in wagons .
to be conveyed to the burial plot. A
few minutes later the long procession
started the journey to the last rest
ing place' of Floyd and Claude Allen,
father and son.
The burial plot is located one mile
from the Allen home in a cultivated
field, and occupies a space on the top
of a ridge. A few yards away from
the burial ground is the home of Wil
liam Jones. The caskets rested in the
yard surrounding this home.
The funeral services were then con
ducted by the Rev. Floyd Zenz and
the Rev. Mr. Monday, both Primitive
Baptists. Both Ministers made five
minute talks, but ' did not take any
particular text, nor did they dwell
upon the.' circumstances which led to
the deaths of the Aliens. They were
followed by the Rev, J. T. Smith, a
Baptist missionary, who spoke for .
fifteen minutes.
Immediately following the services
the vast crowd was permitted to view
the remains, and for one hour the
people passed around the caskets and
viewed the bodies.
The crowd then left and the bodiea
were borne to the burial plot. A brief
burial service was read,' and the bodies
.were consigned to their graves rest
ing side by sde. '
vMrs; FJoyd Men, Jack Allen, Victor:
Alien, Garland Allen, and. the entire,.'
family .connection attended the fune-i ;
ral Mrs. . Allen was prostrated with
grief,:- and was . unable t to leave . her '
carriage. ' , ' v ''
Miss Nellie Wissler. Claude s fiance
was in attendance, and stood at the
head of the grave throughout the ser
vices When the services were; con-.
eluded," and they were ready to close '
the casket,: the medal which was given .
Claude, was taken from his breast and !
handed io : Miss Wissler. t She was
completely " broken and " wept aloud
during' the- service. She is now: the
guest of Mrs. Floyd Allen. , " , ' ,
After the graves were " filled ' Mis
Wissler placed flowers upon Claude'
grave. 'The floral offerings were nume-';,
rou and elaborate, being sufficient to
cover' both graves." r k,-' '
It was nearly 5 o'clock -when, the
Allen'family started for their homes. , ,
