"Allan. There died at Perth on Friday, March 20th, one of the early descendants of the pioneer settlers of the Scotch Line settlement in the person of Mr. Francis Allan. Deceased was a son of the late Francis Allan who was among the first to break into the virgin forest on the Scotch Line, and was in his 90th year. He was one of a family of seven boys and five girls, four of whom survive today: Alexander, Kingston; William, Allan's Mills; Robert and Mrs. M. R. Eodds, town. The subject of this obituary farmed for many years on the Scotch Line, and later ran a store in Glen Tay moving into town twenty years ago. His wife died fifteen years ago, and his demise is mourned by his four sons: William, town; Robert and John in Saskatchewan, and Thomas in Manitoba. The funeral took place from the residence of his son William to Elmwood cemetery. Deceased was always reserved in disposition and commanded the respect of all."
