News Shock To Ameri
cus, Place Of His
Birth
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 25 —
(By Associated Press.)—Rev. Allen
Fort, pastor of the First Baptist
church and president of the Baptist
Sunday school board, died herp to*
day of pneumonia. He was from
Americus, Ga.
The news of the death of Dr. Ai
lent Fort was received by his rela-
lives here this afternoon in a tele-
gram from hollis Fort his brother,
who went to his bedside last Sunday.
This message stated that he had died
at 11:15 o’clock, and that the fun
eral would be held at Nashville Sun
day afternoon a£ 2:30 o'clock. Burial
will be at Nashville beside the body
of his wife, who died March (1, las’t
year.
The message was a severe shock
to the community, where Dr. Fort was
born and rearoa, and where he was
widely honored and # loved. Thu
knowledge that he was seriously ill
wi(g pneumonia, following influenza,
ha* caused much apprehension among
his friends, it being recognized that
this disease is more often fatal with
men of his robust phvsique than with
men of slighter build. The daily hu'-
letins from his bedside had been
watched with fears because they fail
ed to carry much hope at any time.
Dr. Allen Fort was one of the fore
most ministers of the Southern Bap
tist church and widely known, lie
built the Fi^t Baptist church of Nash
ville to an eminence in that city un
known before, and obtained such a
hold on the hearts of the mcmbcr :
ship that a few months ago when it
became known that he had received
a call to Columbia, S. C., the congre
gation refused to let him go nnd.hu
finally decided to remain in Nash
ville.
Dr. Fort was n frequent visitor to
