  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Flora Gritton Allin, wife of Mr. Jack Allin, of this place, died at Norton Infirmary, Louisville, about 8:30 o'clock Sunday night, May 12, 1935. She had not been well for some time, but her condition was not considered serious until a few weeks ago when she was taken to Louisville to a specialist and passed through a critical operation. A native of Mercer County, Mrs. Allin was the daughter of Thomas Gritton and the late Minerva Bunton Gritton and would have been 55 years old in June. She has been to her family a devoted Christian wife and mother in the deepest and truest sense. Surviving are her husband, Mr. Jack Allin, and five sons, Bushrod W. Allin, Washington, D. C.; Jack Allin, Jr., and Fred Allin, of Madison, Wis.; Tom Allin, of Harrodsburg and Dr. Robin Allin, of Kansas City, Mo.; her father, Mr. Thomas Gritton, and four sisters, Mrs. Hugh Ison, Mrs. Holman Hogue, all of Mercer County; Mrs. Bertha Royce and Mrs. Huntley Ransdell, of Boyle County. Mrs. Allin's funeral was at the Harrodsburg Christian Church Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. T. Hassell Bowen. The burial was in Spring Hill cemetery. The casket bearers were her five devoted sons, and a brother-in-law, Tom Allin, of Louisville. Among relatives from other places here to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Sam McDowell and Allin McDowell, of Jessamine County; Mrs. Jennie Allin Osborne, of Versailles; Mrs. Robert Terhune, Winchester; Ed Allin, of Lexington and Tom Allin, of Louisville, and members of her family from Boyle County.
