Mrs. R.G. Allen died at the home of Miss Lucy Allen on North Main street Sunday morning about 5 o’clock in the 60th year of her age. Mrs. Allen had been ill for quite a while but had borne her suffering with that Christian fortitude and peace that follows a life well spent in the service of her Savior. She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church. Although retiring in nature, Mrs. Allen was known to and appreciated by her many friends in Louisburg as a lady of high quality, refined and cultured. Her personality was a rare gift that drew one close in friendship. To know her was to appreciate her most.
Mrs. Allen came to Louisburg about 10 years ago from Cleveland, Ohio, land her remains were taken back to her home on Monday, where the funeral services were held and the interment was made on Tuesday.
Mrs. Allen is survived by her husband, Mr. Robert G. Allen, who has the deepest sympathy of the entire community in his bereavement.
The pall bearers were Messrs. W.H. Yarborough, M.S. Clifton, P.B. Griffin, P.R. White, R.A. Bobbitt, L.E. Joyner.
