MISS ALICE ALLEN
DIED THIS MORNING
----------
Friends Here Receive Word
of Death, Which Occurred
at Clermont.
----------
Miss Allen was about 60 years of age and was quite well known in this city having visited here a number of times. For a number of years she was a resident of Rushville, where the burial will probably take place. She was a woman with wonderful personality and made many friends wherever she went, and her death will come as a complete shock, as none of her relatives and friends here were aware of her illness. Her only surviving relatives are Mrs. Pile at whose home she died, and Mrs. Garnet Fleming, of this city.
