Mrs Grace A Graves, M.D., of Chicago, daughter of Mrs Harriet Allen, of this place, writes the Independent regarding the sickness and death of her brother, John Allen, whose demise was mentioned in this paper last week. She writes:
"Friday, Oct. 28, he injured his foot by running into a rusty nail, it was medically attended, and a week later he resumed work in the flouring mill of which he was in charge in Southern Indiana. After working two day [sic] he complained of having a peculiar, vise like constriction from the waist up and the next day the doctors pronounced it tetanus, or lockjaw, in its worst form, and he died Nov. 10. The two oldest sons are employed in Chicago, working for their uncle, W.B. Graves, and the family, consisting of wife and seven children, will make their future home in this city.
"The body was brought to the home of his sister, Dr Grace A Graves, where the services were conducted by the Baptist minister of Irving Parl. The I.O.O.F. lodge of Irving Park attended the services. Burial took place Nov. 13 at Mount Olive cemetery.
"Besides his immediate family he leaves to mourn his loss, his mother, Mrs Harriet Allen, of Edinboro, C Uzerne Allen, his brother, of Erie, Pa., and a sister, Grace A Graves, of Chicago.
"John Wheeler Allen was born in Edinboro June 5th, 1858. He commenced working at his trade when 13 years of age at the Edinboro grist mill under Mr Edw. Powell. He had a wide experience in milling and was considered very skilled in his line of business."
Mrs Harriet Allen has gone to Chicago to visit her daughter. As John Allen was well known in Erie, where he lived a number of years, being employed in Bacon's Mills, the Erie papers are requested to copy notice of his death.
