RECENT DEATHS.
Allen,
Edward P. Allen died at his home above St. Johnsbury Center on Saturday
in his 61st year. Mr. Allen was born on the farm where he died April 21, 1839.
His boyhood life was no different from other boys and his education was
obtained at the public schools. His father desiring to give him a better education
than the public schools afforded sent him to the Orleans Liberal Institute at
Glover and later to St. Johnsbury Academy. He taught school for several terms
in Glover, Concord and North Monroe, and about the age of 21 went to Boston
where he was for a year or more clerk in a store. He then returned to St. Johnsbury
to live on the home farm. On Dec. 5, 1865, he married at Glover, Eliza A. Bean.
The widow and four children survive him: Clarence of Lynn, Mrs. Edwin A.Gray
of South Wheelock, Miss Stella Allen who lives at home, and Freeman, also of
Lynn. The cause of his death was sub acute meningitis and he was sick only about
three weeks. The funeral was held on Christmas day and services were
conducted by Rev. I. P. Quimby. There was an unusually large attendance of
friends and many tributes to his sterling character were expressed. Green Mountain
Grange attended in a body and Wide Awake and other Granges were well
represented.
Mr. Allen was a typical Vermont farmer who made farming pay by giving attention
to its details and keeping up the value of his property from year to year. He was
one of the best known agriculturists in town, never holding public office, yet never
absent from a town meeting or any public gathering where municipal affairs were
under discussion. Under the school district system he held important offices and was
a firm believer in the advantages of modern education. He was active in the Grange
movement, being a thorough believer in the principles of that order and held at
different times various offices in Green Mountain Grange, the first Grange to be
formed in New England. He was treasurer of this Grange at the time of his death
and this Grange conducted the burial service. Mr. Allen was a regular attendant
from boyhood of the Universalist church and his honesty, sincerity and upright
living are a rich legacy to those that follow him.
