s/H.H. & Elizabeth Allen

From the Wamego Times, 4 December 1879

"A Bereaved Family. It has never before become our unpleasant duty to record such distressing fatality as has occurred in the family of H. H. and Elizabeth Allen, of near America City. The first death was that of William aged 23 years; a few days later a daughter Alice C., aged 19 and at the time of her death the wife of H.G. Wilson (Last Sunday the infant son of H.G. Wilson was interred in the same cemetery where its mother was previously laid.) Soon after followed Olive, a daughter aged 14 years, and last, Mortie, a son aged 10 months. All of the above recorded deaths were the result of typhoid fever, except the youngest, which died of scarlet fever. At this writing another son of Mr. Allen is not expected to recover."
