Since that time he has kept up his acquaintance here by frequent visi'-i to Rensselaer. For a number of years he has been a traveling hardware salesman and made monthly visits to the trade in this city. He was a good man, of high citizenship qualities and his death will be a matter of much sorrow wherever he was known. Up to two or three months ago he was apparently in the nest of health. When he was first taken sick it was believed that his trouble was from ulcers that could be healed up and they seemed to respond readily to treatment. Just when it was thought he was on the road to recovery he again became worse and a more thorough examination proved that his ailment was a cancer of the liver from which there was no escape from death. Undergoing the greatest amount o’ suffering he awaited the end with much fortitude and death relieved his suffering Deceased was raised in Remington, where his father, J. H. Allman, his brother George and sister, Mrs. C. H. Peck, still reside. He leaves a wife and one son, Leslie, 19 years of age, and a member of this year’s Logansport high school graduating class.
