The remains of Allen Slayton, who lost his life in the railroad wreck near Salem last week, were taken through town on Friday and were buried Friday afternoon at Newberry. Those who saw the remains had no difficulty in recognizing Allen Slayton. On that fatal morning Allen had started to Kentucky to get evidence in his application for pension. He had his papers with him. They told who he was and where he belonged.
