Mrs. Abigail Bowman Allen.
On the morning of August 1l, 1917, Mrs. Abigail Bowman Allen
passed from earth to her home beyond, the "house not made, with hands, eternal
in the heavens."
She was the daughter of Mr. Oliver and Mrs. Louisa Bowman,
and was born at Wards Gap,
January 27, 1876, she was married to Victor Allen, to which
happy union were born one son and two daughters who are still living-.
She was a dutiful and loving, companion, a kind and tender
mother, and a kind-hearted, neighbor, ever a friend to those whom she found
trying to do that which was right and honest.
She leaves to mourn her departure a grief stricken husband,
one son and two daughters, together with their families, two brothers, three
sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends.
She died at Barksdale,
May God comfort the bereaved family, with all those who
mourn, and cause them to trust his promises.
