The people of Edna were shocked and saddened soon after the noon hour Tuesday when word came that our friend and fellow townsman, David H. Allen, had passed away at his home in this city soon after partaking of the noon meal. Mr. Allen, bookkeeper at the Jackson County State Bank, had been at the hank all morning, apparently enjoying his usual health, but when he got home at noon he complained to his wife that his eyes were burning and that he was feeling ill. She assisted him to the bathroom to wash his eyes and he collapsed on the bathroom floor. A physician was immediately called, hut no human power could stay the hand of death and within a few minutes he passed on. The funeral service was held at the Allen Memorial Presbyterian Church at 4:00 p. m. Wednesday and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. .John H. Newton. Interment was made in the Edna Cemetery. At the grave the Edna Masons had charge of the ceremony. Mr. Allen was one of the most prominent Masons in South Texas, and had held almost every office in this lodge. The funeral procession was perhaps the largest ever seen in this city, and it was Indicative of the popularity of this good man. The profuse and beautiful floral offering bore mute testimony of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by friends and neighbors. David H. Allen was born in Louisville, Ky. August 10, 1882, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Allen, former well known and highly esteemed residents of Louisville and Edna. He was a nephew of the late Mr. J. W. Allen, one of the pioneer business men of Jackson County and who established Jackson County’s first hank. The subject of this sketch moved to Edna with his parents when he was a youth, and had resided here since that time. He was a graduate of the Edna High School, a private school of this city founded and conducted by the late Mr. John Correll. He was also a graduate of Austin College, a Presbyterian school at Sherman, Texas. After graduating from Austin College, he attended the University of Kentucky where he was awarded a degree in both mechanical and electrical engineering. On December 10th, 1910, he was united in marriage at Edna to Miss Norma Davenport, a member of a pioneer and prominent Jackson County family. Mr. Allen was affectionately known as "Dave” Allen, and he seemed to be a "part and parcel” of the banks of Edna; first being employed by the Allen National Bank and later by the Jackson County State Bank. For more than thirty-slx yours he was identified with these banks. He was not only a competent man in this work, but he was universally loved because of his sincere and accommodating disposition. Dave Allen probably never in his life offended a friend by deed or word; he was the friend of all; the very exemplification of the good neighbor. No man ever questioned his honesty or integrity. Mr. Allen was one of the best posted Masons in South Texas. For many years he devoted a goodly portion of his time and thought to the high principles of this great order. He was a man who believed in God, and while he was reticent in all his affiliations, he was an active church member for many years. At the time of his passing he was a member of the Board of Elders of the Allen Memorial Presbyterian Church. Dave Allen will be missed in many avenues of life in our city. He is survived by his wife, and two sisters, Mesdames Wm. Megginson and Geo. M. Rhodes of Stanton, Va., and two brothers, Messrs. Foree Allen of Dallas and Sam Allen of Mississippi. The Herald joins the many other friends of these bereaved ones in extending heartfelt sympathy.

Rev. R. M Porche, pastor of the church, was to officiate, with interment in the Edna Cemetery. Pallbearers were announced as Weymen Harvey, Charles Highbergh, Victor Zetka, Tommy Zetka, Jimmy Rodgers and Sgt. Rowal. Clarence, an oil field worker and a native of this county, was a son of Mr. and Mrs., Raymond Anders who reside on Star Route. The accident happened about 11:30 a. m. Tuesday, two and one-half miles south west of El Campo, as he was on his way there. He died at 1:20 p. m. that day in the Nightingale Hospital. Highway Patrolman George Robinson, who investigated, said Anders apparently applied his brakes to avoid hitting the rear of another car driving in the same direction. The car skidded some 105 feet, swerved and collided head-on with a milk truck, driven by Edwin Baca, 44, of Wharton, coming in the opposite direction.

State Highway Patrolman George Robinson said Anders died at Nightingale Hospital at 1:20 p. m., less than two hours after the accident occurred at 11:35 a. m. Robinson gave this account: Anders was driving toward El Campo, reportedly to start work on a new job Wednesday. He applied brakes to avoid running into the rear of a car traveling in the same direction. His car swerved and collided head-on with a milk truck driven by Edwin F. Baca, 44, Wharton. Baca was traveling away from El Campo when he met Anders. The car skidded 105 feet before the crash. The motor flew out after the impact. A wrecker was required to separate the two vehicles. Damage to the 1954-model truck was estimated at $1000. The 1950-model two-door sedan was a total loss with damage estimated at $225. Baca suffered cuts and broken ribs but was scheduled for dismissal from Nightingale Hospital Wednesday. Anders, who was a native of Jackson County, was a member of the Baptist Church.

Friends and relatives were grieved last Wednesday morning when death took another one of Jackson County’s prominent citizens—Mr. John Bullard Anderson of the Cordele community. Mr. Anderson had not been well for the past two years, but his condition became critical Tuesday. He was rushed to the Nightingale hospital in El Campo, but in spite of all the care and medical aid he received, he continued to grow worse until God reached down and took him out of his misery at 9:25 Wednesday. John Bullard Anderson was born September 17, 1880, at Waelder, Texas, where he resided until 1902 when he moved to Jackson County. On November 6, 1899 he married Miss David “Daisy” Clawson. Seven children were born to this couple, one dying in infancy. He united with the Baptist Church of Cordele in 1922. He will be sorely missed by everyone as he was loved by old and young alike for his kind, loving and jovial disposition. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and four sons: Mrs. Roy Budd of Cordele and Mrs. Carl Peerson of Houston; and Messrs. J. W. and Mearl Anderson of Woodsboro, Earl of Ganado, and Elbert of El Campo. Besides his immediate family, he leaves to mourn his passing 15 grand children, 2 sisters and one brother.
