His obituary in the Free Press Standard, Carrollton, Ohio, Thursday, January 13, 1927.
Hiram James Allen, aged 74 years 5 months and 4 days, died at his home in Union Township, Carroll County, Ohio, Tuesday evening, January 4, 1927, at 8:10 o'clock. He had suffered for almost six weeks with severe pain near the heart, the cause of which baffled medical skill. Mr. Allen was the sixth child of a family of 11, the parents being Jacob and Mary (Tope) Allen, and has spent his entire life near his childhood home, having bought a tract of land from his father upon his marriage to Rena, the daughter of Thomas and Susanna (Yant) Scott of Dellroy, Ohio, forty-one years ago. To this union was born three children, namely, Clyde E., who died March 17, 1888; Lottie D., wife of Earl W. Boyd of Leavittsville, Ohio, and Morris F., president of the Allen Auto Supply Company of Galion, Ohio.
The Allen family were noted for their musical talent, there being seven boys and each owning his own violin; also one girl, who played the violin and organ; and the father would often tell how the father and mother would pull their chairs over in a corner in the evening and the boys and the girl would tune up the violins, guitar and harp and the youngest girl would chord on the organ, and how they would play for hours. Of this large family only two survive -- Jackson W. of Great Falls, Montana, and Jacob G. of Pittsburgh, Pa. He realized for several days that his life was near its close and had made all arrangements and talked of going to some great reunion. He would name over and over again the ones who would be there to meet him, and the night before he died called the family around his bedside to pray that the boatman would soon come to take his spirit home.
He was a member of the Palermo Methodist Protestant Church and also attended Evangelistic services at the Carrollton Tabernacle, and had received much good from their meetings. Funeral services were held in the Carrollton Methodist Episcopal church Thursday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. J. H. Longsworth, pastor of the Palermo church, assisted by Rev. J. M. Shafer of Carrollton. Burial was made in the mausoleum.
Those who are left to mourn their great loss are the wife, son and daughter, also five grandchildren, Helen, Ruth and Evelyn Boyd, and James W. and Richard M. Allen, the two brothers mentioned and a host of friends who always found him ready and eager to do any act of kindness that was in his power to do. Thus closes the last chapter in the book of a life which faced the trials and labors bravely and faced death unflinchingly; and no one but God knows how our hearts are broken in sorrow and how we will miss him, but we humbly submit to His will. Mrs. Earl Boyd.
