In Memoriam.
Daniel W. Allen, the subject of this memoir, was born in Essex county, New Jersey, Dec. 17, 1813. He was married to Elizabeth Ann VanHouten of the same state, January, 1837. There were born unto them five sons and one daughter. Four sons are yet alive, two of whom served four years as soldiers of the Union. He, with his wife and two sons, moved to Illinois in 1847, and from there to Vernon township, Cowley county, Kansas, in 1871, and there to Winfield last May to his home on East 4th avenue, where he died at 1 o'clock, p.m., Saturday, Jan. 3, 1891. He was converted to the Christ and joined the M.E. church in Illinois in 1850, since which time he has lived an upright Christian life, true to his profession of loyalty to Christ.
He was struck with paralysis on the 2nd day of January, 1891, at 3 o'clock a.m. and was rendered speechless and unconscious to the time of his death, which occurred Jan. 3, at 1 o'clock p.m. His remains were conveyed by Axtell, the undertaker, to the Union church, Vernon township, on Sunday afternoon, followed by his relatives and numerous friends. The church was crowded to its utmost by his old neighbors and friends where a very impressive and solemn service was held, conducted by Rev. S.W. Norton, assisted by S.S. Holloway and after all present had taken the last look at the body - cold in death - it was laid in its last resting place in the cemetery near by. He was 77 years and 17 days old.
