The Allen Tidings
April 9, 1891
Died
Allie,
the 2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Johnston, died suddenly last Saturday
morning, April 4, 1891, of Membraneous Croup, and the remains were intered
in the East park on the following day. The funeral sermon was preached
by Rev. Dice and a very large crowd attended. The little fellow was
taken sick the day previous to his death while his parents were at Emporia.
Upon their return home everything possible was done to relieve the
suffering child. He apparently was doing well but in the early morning
hours he suddenly ceased breathing, and his spirit took flight to the realms
of glory.
(note: at some time the grave was moved
from the east park to the Allen Cemetery)
