Mrs. Allie J. Allen, widow of the later Alfred F. Allen, a former county clerk of Shelby county, died at the Shelby County Memorial hospital in Shelbyville on Tuesday night, November 25, at 8:15 o'clock after a lingering illness from paralysis, which she suffered last May. Allie J. Storm was born 27 Oct 1854 in Shelby county, and was past 70 years of age at the time of her death. On June 6, 1880, she was united in marriage to Alfred F. Allen.
