BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, FEB. 8, 1901 James M. Allen, an old and respected citizen of Lawrence county, died Wednesday at 2 o'clock at his home near Tunnelton, of consumption, at the age of 63 years. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence. Interment at the Pinhook cemetery. ********* FRIDAY, FEB. 15, 1901 OBITUARY. Died at his home near Pinhook Feb. 6th, 1901 James M. Allen. He was born March 22nd, 1838, and was sixty-two years, ten months and thirteen days old. Mr. Allen had been a sufferer for several years from stomach trouble or complication of stomach and lung trouble, which was the cause of his death. His father, Jessie Allen, was an old soldier a member of Co. G, 4th Ind. Cavalry, and died at Murfreesboro, Tenn. 1863. Mr. Allen was twice married. On the 30th day of May 1861 Miss Mary E. Kindred became his wife. To this union were born two children. It was not long until death visited this happy home and mother and child were taken away. So our subject was left alone with his little boy. On the 13th day of Feb. 1870, Miss Rebecca J. Day became his second wife. To this union were born two children, boys, who have grown to manhood and are with their aged mother, and what a comfort this must be to her, since the father is gone. Bro. Allen became a Christian in 1861, and for forty years lived a consistent Christian life. He loved the church and as long as his health permitted filled his place at the house of God. So he will be missed in his community. The loss to wife, home and children no one feels as they do. Bro. Allen was buried at Pinhook, at the old church when he had been a faithful member for many years. The writer was called to conduct the funeral services, but owing to the severe weather the service was made brief. A large congregation turned out to pay tribute to his memory. The wife and three sons left to mourn have the sympathy of all. Bro. Allen has entered into that rest Rev. 14:13 "Servant of God, well done, Thy glorious warfare's past; The battle's fought, the race is run And thou art crowned at last." J. W. ***** Wm. Allen, who was called to Pinhook by the death of his father, James M. Allen, who died a few days ago, was in the city Friday enroute to his home in Elsworth, Kan.
