MARGARET ALLEN – DEATH OF MRS. MARGARET ALLEN
[People’s Press, 7 January 1919]
Mrs. Margaret Allen, relict of the late James Hamilton Allen, passed away at her home, 121 Ross Street, on the 2nd of January, 1919, following a brief illness with heart trouble. She had taken ill the previous Friday, and the news of her death came as a very great shock to her many friends in Welland. The late Mrs. Allen, who had lived in Welland for the past thirteen years, was a highly respected citizen of the community and her removal is a distinct loss to the city.
The late Mrs. Allen was born in County Down, Ireland, fifty-six years ago. Over thirty years ago she and her husband came to Canada and settled at Thorold where they resided until thirteen years ago when they came to Welland. Deceased was a member of the local Presbyterian Church and active in the work of the church.
Mrs. Allen is survived by a family of three daughters, Margaret, Eleanor and Sarah, at home, and two sons, James and Donald also at home. She is also survived by three sister, Mrs. S. Sands, Mrs. J. Watson and Miss M. Lawson of Chester, Pa., and another sister in Ireland and a brother, S.J. Lawson of Philadelphia and another brother in Ireland.
The funeral took place last Sunday afternoon to Fonthill cemetery, the Rev. Mr. Cunningham conducting the burial services.
