DR. WILL L. ALLEN
A telegram to F D. Stubenrauch brings the information that Dr. Will L. Allen died at National City, Calif., on Monday, the 18th inst. The remains were cremated in California and will be sent here for interment in the family section in Oakwood cemetery.
Dr Allen was a son of Dr. George Allen, a practicing physician here for many years. The graves of his parents are here in our cemetery. Dr Will Allen was a graduate of Central College, we are informed, and practiced medicine in Pella from 1987 to the time of his leaving for the west in 1906. For a number of years prior to 1904 he was also associated with F D Stubenrauch in the drug business. Early in his professional career he was united in marriage to Miss Della Wray, near Leighton, of Mahaska county.
Dr Allen was health officer of Pella from 1895 until 1905, he being elected mayor of the city in April of that year. Owing to the unequal fight he had made for several years against the encoachments of diabetes, he resigned the office of mayor in October, 1906 and went to California, primarily that he might have rest and quiet as well as favorable climate. He was a great lover of flowers and the open field, the hunt and chase, and doubtless his rugged constitution would have succumbed to the insidious disease many years earlier but for retiring from business cares and giving himself to the delightful pastime of orchard and garden among the fruits and flowers that so charmed and delighted him.
Dr Allen will be recalled by hundreds of people in this section as possessing fine qualities of mind and heart beneath a rather rough exterior, the feelings and sympathies of which were often expressed rather brusquely. At the age of 58 years last August he closed his earthly career, leaving to feel and grieve his departure his wife and a sister, Mrs. Laura Bishop, both residing in National City.
