DEATH OF JOHN ALLEN
An Old Soldier Expires Suddenly Last Night at 11 o'clock from Hemorrhage of the Lungs
The death of John Allen occurred very suddenly last evening at about 11 o'clock, caused from hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr. Allen had been sick for some time with the grippe but appeared much better last evening. His brother had called earlier in the evening and he had talked quite cheerfully and seemed almost well. A few minutes before his death, Mr. Allen was taken with a violent spell of coughing during which he burst a blood vessel. Mrs. Allen is an invalid and unable to leave her bed but managed to attract attention of near neighbors who came to her assistance. Mr. Allen expired about a minute after he creased coughing.
John Allen was born in Henry county, Ind., August 3, 1843 where he lived until he removed to Warren county, Ohio in April, 1854. When the war began, he enlisted in Company A, Seventy-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served for three years under General Sherman and was with him through the whole campaign. He was regularly mustered out in 1865. After the war he engaged in teaching for six years, after which he was admitted to the bar, and practiced law in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the fall of 1881 he removed to Cass county, Mo., and in the following spring came to Emporia, where he has since resided at 609 Cottonwood street. He was a member of the Preston Plumb Post No. 55, G.A.R., under whose management the funeral will be conducted from his late residence to-morrow at 2:30 o'clock.
