Allen - Mr. Benjamin Newton Allen, one of the oldest men in the county, died at the home of his son, Mr. D. C. Allen, near McKinney, Saturday afternoon, aged 89. Stomach trouble caused his taking away and he was ill but a few days. His wife died a number of years ago but four sons and several daughters are left to mourn a kind and indulgent father. The sons, besides the one named above, are Messrs. James W., John J. and Millard E. Allen, all splendid citizens of this county. Mr. Allen was a fine old gentleman, noted for his hospitality and good deeds and his death will carry sorrow to the hearts of many who admired him for his sterling qualities. Rev. T. H. Coleman preached his funeral at the Baptist church in Hustonville Sunday, after which his remains were laid to rest in the Hustonville cemetery in the presence of a large assemblage of friends.
