Mrs. R. R. Allen Dies

Mrs. Allen after 90 years of service for the Master, answered his welcome call to her heavenly home Saturday night 17 Feb. and was laid to rest with tender care Sunday afternoon in the local cemetery. Rev. Murphy, of DeLand, conducted the services.

Previous to her marriage to Mr. Allen she was Mrs. Harris, and came to Seville in the early eighties with Mr. Harris erecting a little home on Kimbol Avenue, where they resided until his death several years ago.

During the last of her feeble years she lived with and was patiently cared for by Mrs. William Ruth and family.

Besides her many friends and old acquaintances, she leaves a step-son, Mr. J. E. Allen, of Dallas, Texas, whom she always spoke of as a loving son.
