Hattie E. Finger was born in Lawrence Co., Indiana, July 18, 1848, and died in Blair July 12, 1913.
She first came to Nebraska about three months before Blair was platted. Her two sisters, Mrs. Mary Johnson and Mrs. Elizabeth Arnold, who will be remembered by the older settlers of Blair and Washington county, had preceded her, both of whom were called hence some years ago and now sleep in the Blair cemetery.
She was married to Joseph Allen in Blair on Dec. 22, 1880. They have lived here almost continuously since that time. She had no children of her own but reared to manhood and womanhood the three sons and one daughter of a former wife of her bereaved husband.
Mrs. Allen was of a family of seven children, and is survived by only one of them, Mrs. Tabitha Patterson, who resides at Indianapolis, Ind., and who is known and has many friends in Blair, having visited her sister quite frequently.
At her bedside during the closing hours of her life were gathered her beloved and sorrowing husband, the step-daughter, Mrs. W.M. Armstrong of this city, two nieces, Mrs. Hattie Kessler and Mrs. Ella Snyder of Council Bluffs, and her nephew, Mr. Albert Johnson of Omaha.
Her stepsons Cisero Allen and wife of Sidney, Nebr., and Scott Allen of Cheyenne arrived in time to pay their last respects at her grave.
She leaves her devoted and loving husband practically alone in the world, and it is upon him the blow falls most severely. He yet has his children to comfort him in his declining years, but his life companion is gone and his home is broken.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. Lang, Monday afternoon and interment was made in the Rose Hill cemetery.
