"...The many friends of Grandpa Allerton were very sorry to hear the sad news of his death which occurred Saturday, Nov. 9. While it was known he was in failing health, yet none thought he was so near death's door. The funeral was held from his home Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 1 o'clock conducted by Rev. Mr. Carpenter, of Hiawatha. Burial was made in Hamlin cemetery by the side of his wife who had preceded him some 19 years. ..."
