THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, June 16, 1932

Fred Allen, aged 65, who died at his home in Flagler Beach Saturday night of heart disease, was laid to rest in Hope Cemetery Tuesday afternoon. A host of friends accompanied the body to its last resting place, showing their love and esteem by a profusion of bouquets and wreathes of lilies, roses, and other flowers.

Of reticent character but loyal to his friends, the place left vacant by Mr. Allen will be hard to fill. He had not been in good health for several weeks but it was not known that he had any serious ailment. Complaining of pains about the heart Friday night his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Hollister, applied treatment during the night and toward morning he seemed better. Sitting at the breakfast table he took only a swallow of coffee when the final attack came and he threw himself on his bed and instantly expired.

A native of Pine River, Wisconsin, Mr. Allen left for Canada when young man and became a member of the famous Canadian mounted police. Later he did engineering work and years ago he moved to Flagler with his sister, who, with her son, Martin Hollister of Kokomo, survives. The deceased was unmarried.

Almost every citizen of Flagler attended the funeral, which was in charge of Rev. J. M. DeVette, pastor of the First Baptist church of Bunnell.

Pallbearers were R. S. Tolan, P. F. Hudson, James Farley, W. H. Lewis, Frank Owen, and A. V. Wickline.

Funeral hymns were sung by Mrs. Charles Ranger, Mrs. P. F. Hudson, Mrs. Edwin Dow, Reverend DeVette and A. A. Root.
