Miss Mildred Rebecca Allen

Miss Mildred Allen Passed Away Saturday
After an illness of just a few days, Miss Mildred Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Allen, of Flovilla, passed away at an early hour Saturday morning. The death of this young lady came as a shock to the family and relatives and a large circle of friends.
Miss Allen, who was 19 years old, was a beautiful and accomplished young lady and was popular with a large number of friends. She had attended Shorter College and among her school mates as well as other acquaintances she was held in the highest and most cordial esteem. Her going away at such a tender age was a great blow to the family and in their sorrow they have the condolences of hosts of friends here and over the state.
The funeral was held Sunday morning at 10 o'clock and the impressive rites were conducted by Rev. I. G. Walker, of Locust Grove, assisted by Rev. J. J. Copelan. Uncles of the deceased acted as pallbearers and interment was in the Flovilla cemetery. Many pretty floral tributes showed the love and affection of relatives and friends.
Miss Allen is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Allen; four sisters, Misses Lola, Sarah, Frances and Carolyn, and two brothers, Robert and Michael.
