Mr. Allen, or “Bill,” as he was commonly known to all of his friends, will be greatly missed as he has resided in Epworth for 23 years. Although in failing health for many months, his spirit was undaunted and whenever able he took his customed walk to town where he chatted for a while with the other “boys.” Mr. Allen was janitor at Epworth School for many years and was popular with teachers and pupils because of his desire to please. Funeral services will be held at the home Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Epworth Historical Society
