ALLEN, Atlanta HUNT - It is sad to chronicle the untimely death of Mrs. Elliot Allen who succumbed to pneumonia last Saturday at her home on the west side after a brief illness. The funeral services were held in the Baptist church Monday at 2 p.m. Rev. O.H. Tucker read a scripture lesson and offered a prayer; Eld. R.G. Jones preached the sermon. The burial occurred at the I.O.O.F. cemetery where Eld. J.W. West offered an appropriate and touching benediction. Sister Atlanta Allen, nee Hunt, was born in Lawrence county, Mo. July 23, 1861. She professed the faith in Jesus at the age of ten and united with Round Grove Baptist church. She was married to Elliot Allen when she was 27 years of age and they moved about one year later to Kansas; and united with the Evergreen Baptist church where they remained until 1907 when they moved to Gravette, Ark. and united with the first Baptist church of Gravette, Sept. 1908. Sister Allen died Jan. 23, 1909, aged 47 years and 6 months. She was a patient, devoted wife, a model neighbor and a faithful and devoted member of her church. For the short period she lived in Gravette she endeared herself to many friends. T.F. Jones, Pastor....The News-Herald also joins the many friends of the family in extending condolence to the bereft husband and other relatives in the great loss sustained.
