Notes - Obituary - The Advertiser, Owen Sound - Died: Death of Mrs. B. Allen: It is our painful duty this week to announce the death of Mary Crothers, wife of our esteemed and well-known citizen, B. Allen, Esq. She was taken ill on the night of the 11 of January, first with a chill, followed with a slight attack of pleurisy. This continued until the Tuesday night following, when acute pneumonia set in, first in the left lung, and finally spreading to the right lung. In spite of the best medical treatment she became worse, and died on Thursday evening about half -past seven.
Mrs. Allen was sixty-two years of age. She was born in Bainbridge, County Down, Ireland, in 1832, and came to Canada with friends in 1851, settling in Toronto, and was married to Mr. Allen at that city in January 1857, coming to Owen Sound the following fall, when Mr. Allen started a general store.
The fruit of the marriage was four children, two sons and two daughters, of which three are living. Jennie the eldest daughter died some nine years ago.
Mrs. Allen was a member of the Methodist Church. Funeral services were held at the residence at 2 o'clock on Saturday, conducted by Rev. M. Hincks and Rev. Dr. Somerville, after which the remains were taken to Greenwood Cemetery for interment, followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. William, the eldest son, has been residing in Chicago for the last eight years. He was wired on Wednesday evening and informed of his mother's illness, and arrived here on Saturday by the five o'clock G. T. R., too late for the funeral.
