COOS PIONEER PASSES AWAY

T. T. Allen Highly Respected Citizen, Answers Last Roll Call
Theophilus T. Allen, an Oregon pioneer and highly respected citizen passed away at his home in this city about one o'clock this morning.

Mr. Allen was born in La Salle, Illinois, February 7, 1841, and died at Bandon, Oregon, December 14, 1914, being 73 years, 10 months, and 8 days old at the time of his death.

In early life, Mr. Allen moved from Illinois to Iowa and later to Colorado. He was married at Iowa City, Iowa to Miss Louise Rouyer in 1871 and they went immediately to Colorado where they lived until 1886 when they came to Curry County, Oregon and settled on a farm on the Sixes River. About 14 years ago the Allen family moved to Bandon where they have since resided.

Mr. and Mrs. Allen have three children, Harry Allen, Mrs. W. L. Davidson and William Allen, all of whom reside in this city and were here to comfort their mother in her great bereavement.

Although Mr. Allen had been afflicted for about three years, and was forced to under go an operation last April in which one of his legs was amputated, he had been considerably better for the last few months and only yesterday morning when he arose he seemed to be in his usual state of health, but shortly afterwards he went out into the back yard and later came in telling Mrs. Allen that he was in great pain. A physician was called at once and it was found that Mrs. Allen had a hemorrhage having burst a blood vessel and from that time on he grew worse until the end came.

Mr. Allen was a veteran of the Civil War having enlisted in Company E Third Colorado volunteers and served about a year at the end of the war. He was a member and Post Commander of Bandon Post, G.A.R.

The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 at the Latter Day Saints church and will be in charge of Elder F. J. Chatburn. Interment will be in the G. A. R. Cemetery and the local Grand Army Post will have charge and will attend in a body.

Mr. Allen was one of the most highly respected citizens of Bandon and many friends of the family will extend sincere sympathy in their time of bereavement.
