The Reaper
Last Sunday morning Joel C. Allen, another one of the old pioneer settlers of Surprise Valley, passed over to the Great Beyond. For the past several years Mr. Allen had been an uncomplaining sufferer from Bright's disease, which culminated in his death last Sunday morning and on Monday afternoon his remains were interred in the Eagleville cemetery, the funeral services being conducted under the auspices of the Surprise Valley Lodge No. 235, F. & A. M., of which he was an esteemed member, assisted by Rev. E. E. Beach, pastor of the Cedarville Methodist Episcopal Church, and the funeral was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. Joel Crawford Allen was born in Gentry County, Missouri, July 5, 1853, and crossed the plains in 1857 and resided at Knight's Landing until 1871, when he came to Surprise valley where he has since resided. He leaves to mourn his loss four sons, J. W., Joel, Sylvester and Grover Allen, to whom the sympathy of the community is extended in their sad bereavement. Mr. Allen was highly esteemed by all, and was a man of the old-time genuine hospitality whose latch string was always outside of the door, and he will always be remembered as a good neighbor and stanch friend.
