John Allen, 77 years of age, a retired farmer living at Raglesville, in VanBuren township, died Saturday night at 10:30 o'clock after a brief illness, of paralysis. Thursday of last week, Mr. Allen went to the barn lot and was chopping some wood. When darkness came he failed to return to the house, and members of the family became worried and went in search of him. He was found lying near the woodpile seriously stricken with paralysis. He had been lying there about three hours before being found. Remaining in a critical condition from that time, he died late Saturday night as a result of the stroke. Mr. Allen was born on May 2, 1857, being a son of Mr. And Mrs. Jerry Allen. His mother's maiden name was Goodman. He was a farmer all his life, and was widely known in VanBuren township.
