Death of Oris Allen Tuesday
The circle of friends were grieved Tuesday afternoon to learn that the condition of Oris Allen had taken a sudden turn for the worse and that the end of his life was near. He had been failing for a few weeks, keeping to his bed for the most part, but had eaten a good dinner Tuesday, just before the convulsions started with which his life passed out about six o'clock in the evening. Oris came to Pella with his parents in the fall of 1916, when he passed his thirteenth year. He passed his twenty-first birthday February 8th at which time he was fighting for his life at the sanitarium at Oakdale, Iowa, where he went about Christmas. His ill health began somewhat more than a year ago with an attack of typhoid fever. He and his little sister both had typhoid in the summer of 1923, during the epidemic in Pella, but he made a complete recovery from this and passed a satisfactory physical examination for entrance into the U.S. Navy, but he had not yet enlisted when he fell victim to the disease. He was up and about in the usual time after the second illness with typhoid, but symptoms of tuberculous were noted before long, and he spent several months at Oakdale and later at Kalamazoo, Michigan. He was greatly benefited at the latter place, returning home several weeks ago. Sinus trouble then developed and later spinal meningitis the last being the cause of his death.
Oris was born at Alfordsville, Indiana. Before coming to Pella the family lived for a few years at Jewell, Iowa. He is survived by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Allen and two sisters Mrs. M. M. Rawlings of Dunlap, Iowa and Hannah, younger than himself who is at home. These have the sympathy of the community in which they have lived for the past nine years and where Oris graduated from high school. Funeral services are appointed for 12 o'clock , noon today, Thursday when a private service will be in the home. After this the funeral party will leave on the 1:28 train for Jewell, Iowa where burial will take place.
