----- OBITUARIES -----

​

John E. Allin

April 11, 1869 ~ December 14, 1933

John Edwin Allin was the third son of the late Samuel and Jane Elford Allin, and was born at the original Allin homestead on the town line between Darlington and Clarke in the 3rd Concession of Darlington. At 8 years of age he moved with his parents to the farm now the home of his brother, Charles and family. Later they moved to the Lakeshore farm called Allindale where John has since resided. About a year ago he was taken ill with hardening of the arteries and although everything that medical attention could devise and devoted nursing do to relieve, he passed away on Thursday evening. The funeral on Saturday afternoon was very largely attended and was conducted by Rev. E. F. Armstrong, his pastor, who spoke from the text, “He was a good man” and gave a very comforting message to the bereaved ones. Much sympathy is felt for his widow, nee Olive Hislop, and the two sons, Samuel and Alfred, also the brothers and sister—Albert, Wesley, Charles and Norman, and Miss Annie Allin. The pallbearers were three neighbours, Messrs. Cecil Bellman, Garnet Symons, F. Joness and three members of Trinity United Church Men’s Brotherhood of which John was a past president and very faithful member, Messrs. Neil Mutton, Hubert Smale and John Tabb.

  Mr. John Allin was a successful farmer, good neighbour and very fond  of his home and devoted to his family and will be much missed by his large circle of friends and acquaintances.

  Among the relatives attending from a distance were: from Whitby, Mrs. R. G. Oke and son, Emmett, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Broughton; from Oshawa, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hancock; from Columbus, Mr. John Hislop, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Scott, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
