Andover Townsman – July 31, 1891 – Vol. 4 – No. 42 – Page 5
William Allen, an old and well-known resident, died early Monday morning after a short illness. He was taken ill suddenly two weeks ago with bilious fever which led to other complications, but the immediate cause of death was heart failure.
He was born in Tewksbury in 1829 and was consequently in his sixty-three year when he died. His ancestors fought in the Revolution, and he was of the genuine old Yankee stock. He was one of the original "Forty miners" and went round the Horn to California in the height of the gold fever, but sickness compelled him to return East after a short stay. In 1851, he was married to Rebecca Pearson of Wilmington and two years later bought the well-known Allen farm where he has since resided.
A very industrious man, he accumulated property, his real estate holdings being very heavy. His farm he made a model on and a profitable one. He leaves one daughter, Mary, wife of John Howell, Esq., and four sisters, Mrs. Allen having died in 1883.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the house Rev. W.F. Stewart officiating. Burial at Spring Grove Cemetery.
