disease at 11:45 o'clock Friday evening at his home near Mohawk,, following an illness of three months.

A few weeks ago Mr. Allen rallied and hopes were entertained for his recovery, but he gradually grew weaker and sank into unconsciousness and for several days past it was known that he could not recover.

Mr. Allen was a member of the board of county commissioners, representing the Middle district. He was nominated on the Democratic ticket at the primary held January

1912, and was elected at the election following. He had served less than two years off his first term of three years and was a candidate for re-election at the coming November election. Mr. Allen was a conscientious and faithful official and it was his greatest aim to be one of the best commissioners the county ever had.

Mr. Allen was a member of a family of twelve children born to Jesse and Jane Allen, and all are now deceased except one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, of Madison county. They were all born and reared in this county. They were Mrs. Joseph Everson, Agnes Bennett, Mary Watts, Minerva Shaffer, Louisa Harvey, Mrs. Johnson, who survives; James Allen, Richard Allen, Reuben Allen, John Allen, Wilson T. Allen and George W.

Allen. On March 16, 1881, Mr. Allen was married to Martha Lowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Lowe. To them were born four children, one dying in infancy. The widow and three children, Ollie C. Allen, who lived with his parents Edwin C. Allen, of St. Louis, and Florence B. Shelby, wife of Raymond Shelby. There are also three grandchildren.

Mr. Allen would have been 60 years of age the eleventh of next November. He was a prominent

member of the Baptist church of this city, and lived strictly in accordance with its teachings. He was a hard worker and good manager and owned a good farm and nice home in Center township, one mile east and one-fourth mile south of Mohawk, where his death occurred.

PAY HIGH TRIBUTE TO GEORGE W. ALLEN

Spoken of In Highest Terms By County Officials and Attorneys at Meeting Saturday

Afternoon.

At the meeting of the county officials and attorneys, called Saturday afternoon to take action on the death of George W. Allen and pay tribute to his memory, the highest tributes than one man can pay another were paid to him by his brother officers and friends.

The meeting was called to order by James H. Bussell president of the board of commissioners, who stated the purpose of the meeting, and Judge Earl Sample was made permanent chairman and Charles E. Walker, secretary.

The chairman appointed J. H. Bussell, W. H. Albea, H. L. Thomas, John B. Hinchman and Moses C. Wood on the resolutions committee and Lawrence Wood, Allen F. Cooper and Jonas P. Walker on the floral committee.

The meeting was then opened for addresses of tribute and a number responded, including Jonas P. Walker, Chauncey Duncan, Samuel J. Offutt, H. L. Thomas, T. E. Glascock, Robert F. Reeves, John B. Hinchman, James F. Reed and Earl Sample. These speakers paid the very highest tribute to Mr. Allen as a neighbor, friend, citizen and official. Some of the speakers had known him as a boy and others only for a few years, but all joined in classing him as one of the sturdy, honest, honorable and upright citizens, of strong character, whose integrity was beyond reproach, and whose honor remained untarnished to the end, and whose acts as a citizen and official were above criticism.

Funeral of George W. Allen Was Attended By Many. The funeral of George W. Allen, whose death occurred Friday night, was largely attended Monday morning at the Baptist church by relatives and friends. The county officials and attorneys attended in a body, marching from the court house. The funeral cortege arrived at the church at 10 o'clock and there were many of the neighbors of the deceased accompanied the relatives from the home. The pallbearers were nephews. Elder Robert W. Thompson, pastor of the Baptist church here, and Elder J. Harvey

Daily had charge of the funeral. The body was laid to rest in Park cemetery.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1914

HEALTH MEETING A GREAT SUCCESS

LARGE NUMBER IN COURT ROOM TO HEAR ADDRESSES AND THE DAY'S EFFORTS

ARE PRONOUNCED SUCCESSFUL IN EVERY WAY.

The health meeting held in the court room Friday evening was a success in every way and was attended by quite a large number of citizens.

Mayor J. Q. Johnson presided and Samuel J. Offutt read the Governor's proclamation. R. L. Mason talked on health laws and Dr. Mary L. Bruner read an interesting paper which she had prepared on "Hygiene in the Home." Prof. J. W. Kendall talked on disease prevention in connection with the schools and expressed some ideas along this line that were no doubt new to many who heard him. Rev. Charles H. Smith gave a good article on "The Gospel of Hygiene," followed with a reading by Miss Mildred Duncan, "Fence or Ambulance." Dr. J. L. Allen, the county health commissioner, closed the evening's program with some facts in regard to diseases in Hancock county. He said there had been 14 deaths so far this year in Hancock county from tuberculosis, while in 1912 there were 34 deaths from the same disease, showing some results from the disease prevention movement that has been sweeping over the country for the past two years.

The schools observed disease prevention day in a manner calculated to benefit the pupils. Physicians were secured to give short talks before the pupils on the best methods of preventing disease and the surest ways to keep healthy.

The entire day's observance was very successful in every way.

Apply Sloan's Freely For Lumbago Your attacks of Lumbago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem.

You can relieve them almost instantly by a simple application of Sloan's Liniment on the back and loins. Lumbago is a form of rheumatism, and yields perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates quickly all in through the sore, tender muscles, limbers up the back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does, give almost instant relief. K. (Advertisement.)
