JOSEPH ALLEN DIES BEFORE HIS FATHER'S ARRIVAL
Joseph, son of Joseph S. and Ann Allen, who had been a great sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism and a leaking heart, expired shortly after 5 o'clock last evening at the home of the parents, No. 122 Wood Street. He was aged 13 years, 1 month and 1 day.
Mr. Allen is employed at Phillips, Wis., and when his son's condition became serious a few days ago he was summoned home, but he was unable to reach Catasauqua until this morning.
The deceased is survived by his grief-stricken parents, four brothers and a sister, James, John, Samuel, Thomas and Annie Allen, all at home.
He was a member of St. Lawrence Church.
