OBIT 1:

Mr. [Francis] Asbury Allender, one of the best-known men of this county died at half past one o’clock this afternoon at his home five miles northwest of this city, death following a stroke of apoplexy which occurred Monday night in the early evening.

Up to the time of the seizure, Mr. Allender had been in good health and about his work on the farm and in town frequently. His death was therefore entirely unexpected.

He leaves a wife, Nancy Jane Allender, and one son, Mr. Frank Allender of this city and a large number of relatives. Mr. Allender was but sixty-five years of age and had lived in this county for a long time.

OBIT 2:

To the sorrow of his many friends Mr. Ashbury Allender passed away at his home four miles northwest of us this city on Tuesday, December 14, 1915, at two o'clock. He was stricken with paralysis at nine o'clock the evening before. He was a son of Benjamin and Mary Allender, and was born on November 11, 1848, on the same farm on which he died. All his life, except three years spent at Red Oak, Iowa, was lived on the hold home place.

On December 3, 1870, he and Nancy Jane Kinney were joined in marriage. They became the parents of three children. Two, Mary and Susan, died in infancy. The other, Frank Allender, resides near the old homestead. The close surviving relatives are the wife, the son, three grandchildren, John, Jesse, and Bertha Allender; three brothers, George of Lockridge, Iowa, Wilson of Genoa, Nebraska, and Frank of Red Oak, Iowa, and one sister, Mrs. George Kinney of Salem, Iowa. Five brothers and sisters had preceded him in death; Mary Ann Robinson, Naomi Harper, Rebecca Morrow, and John and Murray Allender. There are many other relatives besides who remain to mourn.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Frank. E. Weston, pastor of the Baptist Church, Mt. Pleasant, were held in Benjamin Chapel, a chapel erected largely through the efforts of the father of the subject of this sketch, and so named for him, Richwoods on Thursday at eleven o'clock. Despite the rain there was a large attendance. The pallbearers were Charlie, Clarence, Spencer, and Morgan Kinney and Lawrence and Osbert Allender. Interment was in the Richwoods Cemetery.

Asbury Allender was a man who had many friends. He was widely known throughout the county, having been engaged in the profession of veterinary for many years. He was a practical man in the profession and enjoyed good success. He was genial and kind hearted, qualities which won young and old to him. He will be greatly missed.
