"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 59, No 19, p 301, May 11, 1903.
Emma Potter Allen, eldest of the five children of Jerome and Sarah Thomas Potter, was born at Five Corners, Near Alfred, N. Y., April 8, 1862, and died April 29, 1903.
Her death is the first break in the circle. She was married to George Alexander Allen, Oct. 16, 1880. To them have come three children, two of whom remain to comfort their father's heart. Mrs. Allen has never been strong, yet she was industrious in spirit, and has done her full share of the world's toil. Pneumonia attacked her on her birthday, followed later by cerebro-spinal meningitis.
She was baptized when about fifteen years of age, in company with two of her sisters and a number of other young people in the community. A revival was being held at the Five Corners by Pastor N. V. Hull and his brother Varnum. She has since remained a loyal member of the First Alfred church.
She was a busy, unselfish, cheerful, loving and devoted woman. Her home was her kingdom, and in it she was faithful unto the end. Some evidence of the love and esteem in which she is held was to be seen in the large congregation which gathered at the church Sabbath afternoon, May 2, to pay tribute to her memory. The pastor's text was Psa. 23: 4.
