Allen, 73, Retired Farmer, Dies of Heart Attack A 73-year-old retired Holt County farmer, residing alone nine miles east of O'Neill on state highway 108, died as the indirect result of the historic two-day storm that battered this region last weekend. The frozen body of Harvey Richard Allen was discovered in a snowbank near his house by a passerby, Thomas Kelly, about 10 a.m. Sunday, February 22. Young Kelly was driving by the farm when he happened to see the body lying in the snow. Dr. E. J. Bild, Page physician, was summoned and estimated the man had been dead at least 24 hours. Holt County Coroner William W. Griffin said death was caused by a heart attack. Time of death was assumed to have been sometime early Saturday. The body was not covered by snow. There was evidence he had attempted to shovel some snow and distinct tracks could be traced from the house. Griffin said he thought Mr. Allen sat down in the snowbank to rest and was fatally stricken. Funeral services were conducted at 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 25, from the Biglin Brothers funeral chapel. Rev. Wallace B. Smith, O'Neill Methodist church pastor, officiated and burial was in Propect Hill cemetery. Pallbearers were Milo Landreth, Ed Sterner, Edwin Braddock, William Roach, Herman Dimmitt and Glen Stewart, all of the Page vicinity. The late Mr. Allen was born on January 3, 1880, at Harvey, Illinois, a son of the late James and Sarah Allen. On March 2, 1910, at Ft. Calhoun he married Bessie Johnson. The couple became the parents of one daughter, Grace, and they came to Holt County from Omaha in 1913. The Allens lived on a farm in the Redbird vicinity until 1919, then moved onto a place north of Page. They resided in Page about six years after which they moved onto a farm six miles northwest of there. Mrs. Allen died on July 9, 1947. He was also preceded in death by his parents and four brothers, Ethan, Frank, Grover and Ela, several of whom were known here. Survivors include: Daughter, Mrs. Glen "Grace" Sprague of Inman; brother, Ezra E.
