Oscar H. Allis, of Syracuse, formerly of this village, died suddenly of heart disease, in that city, on Saturday last. He staggered into the American Express Company's office and fell to the floor. Dr. Doyle was immediately summoned and administered restoratives, and Allis was partially restored to consciousness, but soon after expired. The Syracuse Journal published a long account in reference to his previous life, among other things, saying that he was in the Confederate service during the war. The Journal's information is incorrect. "Phid" Allis, as he was called here, never was in the Confederate army, but spent most of his time during the war, in this village. Deceased was fifty-two years of age, and leaves a widow. His remains were brought to this place on Monday, and placed in the receiving vault.
