H. A. ALLEN. 1/. A. Allen, of Atkinson, Nebraska, died at I he home of his sister, Miss Emily Allen, at Hollywood, California, on Monday, December 31, 1923, at the age of about seventy-four years. He has been in failing health for some time, and recently consulted the Mayo's at Rochester, Minnesota; upon them advice he went to a sanitarium at Tuscon, Arizona, where he re mained a short time, going from there, a couple of weeks ago, with his sister, to her home in Hollywood, where he passed away as above stated. Mr. Allen came to Holt county in 1885, and located in Atkinson, where he has since been closely allied with county affairs. He was one of the most prominent men of the west end of the county, and was perhaps, the heaviest land dealer and owner in the county, owning at least 10,000 acres of Holt county’s best land some of which is highly improved. Everybody in the western half of the count / knew H. A. Allen and loved him for bis philanthropic ways. He loved all mankind. Until the death of the dog three years ago, Mr. Allen and his faithful Golden pug were sel dom separated from each other. He was noted for his ability to tell a good stor/, and thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of telling them. Mr. Allen had been married twice. His first wife died in 1900. .. He was married again while serving in the legislature in 1909. Mrs. Allen died a couple of years ago at the home of her daughter in the west, where she was spending the winter. He had no child ren. In 1909 he wa3 elected to the House of Representatives and was re-elected in 1911. The depression following the war greatly reduced the financial rating of Mr. Allen. Conservative estimate places the present value of his estate at $100,000.00. The Frontier has not been advised as to the funeral but it is presumed that he was buried at Hollywood. MRS. MINNIE SMITH.
