Born
Died in Iuka, Miss,
At four o'clock on the afternoon of
Col. and Mrs. Clayton did a large part in the building of the First Presbyterian Church, erected in Baldwyn, their hometown, of which Mrs. Allen, together with seven sisters and one brother, were members until they either moved away or were called to their reward. Although Mr. And Mrs. Allen moved to luka, Miss., more than thirty years ago, yet her love for the old home church was not lessened and she was a great up lift to us both spiritually and in a finantial [sic] way. In her younger days the walls of the church, and alike the drawing room echoes with the melodies of her voice, for but few possessed such gift of songs as she had or loved more to use it for her Masters glory than did she.
In the year 1866 she was married to Robert Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Allen, and to them were born eight children, three of whom, together with Mr. Allen, passed away twenty and more years ago.
The remaining five, three daughters and two sons, in time married congenial companions and they, together with twelve grandchildren and great grandchildren, three generations were permitted to be at her bedside during her illness and death and delighted to minister to her wants and to make her last days as free from pain as it was possible for human hearts and hands to do. A tribute well worthy of dutiful children to the loving Christian mother that she was.
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hensforth [sic]: Yea sayeth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them. A Friend.
