STROKE VICTIM AT HOSPITAL

Mrs. Leona Allen, 52 year old wife of Seebern Allen of Stillwater died 
suddenly of a cerebral hemarrhage at the Ephram McDowell Memorial 
hospital in Richmond at 6:45, Tuesday morning, November 20.

Mrs. Allen was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago to receive 
treatment for her eyes, and she was to have been released from the hospital 
Friday.

She and several of the lady patients were discussing the 13th chapter 
of I Corinthians and Mrs. Allen was quoting it for them when death 
stilled her voice.

Mrs. Allen, a daughter of the late Bowder D. and Nancy Chambers Rose 
was born at Stillwater in November 1893.

She was married to Mr. Seebern Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Allen, 
in 1915; and they had one child, a son, Seebern Jr., who is serving 
with the Air Corp in Casa Blanca.  They tried repeatedly to get in touch 
with the son, but could not.

Funeral services were conducted at the home Friday afternoon at 1:30 
with Rev. H.H. Patton, pastor of the Park Methodist church of Lexington 
officiating.

After the funeral they decided to let her body lay in state, and try 
again to locate the son.

Deciding it was useless to try to contact him, they had funeral 
services again at the residence Sunday afternoon at 1:00 with Rev. Sam Sloan, 
pastor of the Baptist church in Campton, in charge.

Pallbearers were Boyd Cundiff and Mr. Nickel of Lexington and her 
brother-in-law, Leebern Allen, Cleveland Allen, Freeland Allen, Bill Allen, 
Kelly Combs, George Haney and Walker Haney.

In the beautiful floral offerings and the large crowds of relatives and 
friends that came to pay tribute at both services were evidence of the 
esteem held for Mrs. Rose.

In addition to her husband and son, she is survived by five sisters, 
Mrs. Gertrude Childers of Lexington, Mrs. Elizabeth Combs of Ravenna, 
Mrs. Millie Haney of Grassy Creek, Mrs. Joan Haney of Grassy Creek, and 
Mrs. Dora Hollon of Monrow, Ohio; and a brother, Elishia Rose of Edna, 
Texas.

Interment was in the Rose cemetery at Stillwater.
