DEATH DR. J. E, ALLEN BRINGS IGH SORROW Prominent Physician and Life- Long Citizen of Augusta Suc | combed to Lengthy Illness at His Home Early Tuesday. In the passing of Dr. Joseph Eve Allen, one of the best known physi cians In the South, Augusta not only i loses a man high up In his profession hut a man who stood high In his | community as well. He had countless friends here and throughout this en jtiro section who will receive the sad new* with the deepest regret. Dr. Alien died at 2:15 o'cloek Tues day morning at his home, 613 Greene Street, after having been confined to his home for the jiast several weeks with a malady over which, although his friends entertained hopes of his recovery, It was thought for the past, few days he could never survive. Dr. Allen was 56 years of age. Ho leaves three sisters, Mrs, Archibald Blackshear and Mrs. Edward Burwell, of this city, and Mrs. Thos. Sinclair, of New York, besides his one brother, Hon. K. E. Allen, who was at one time mayor of Augusta. lie was horn In Augusta on October 12, 1857, and was a son of the late Major Joseph V. H. Alien and Eliza beth (Eve) Allen. He secured his preparatory education In the Academy of Richmond County, In this city, and In 1874 entered the medical depart ment of the University of Georgia, In which he completed the prescribed course arid was graduated with the class of '77. He forthwith began the practice of his profession in Augusta, where he has ever since continued his work, specializing all tho while on obstetrics and gynecology. In 1878 he was applonted lecturer on diseases of children In the medical department of the University of Georgia; In 1880 he was made lecturer on clinical mid wifery, and In 1884-85 adjunct pro fessor of obstetrics In this institution. In 18!I4 he was made professor of ob stetrics at the Medical College here nod had held that position until his death. At one time he was dean of the Medical College In Augusta, Dr. VV. H. Doughty, the present dean, suc ceeding Idm. From 1804 to 1806 he was president of the Augusta Academy of Medicine; he was for some time connected with the c.lty bonrd of health, and was a prondrient member of the Medical Association of Georgia and also the medical Society of Rich mond County, lie was consulting ob stetrician to the City Hospital and the Lamar Hospital. In addition to his professional in terests, Dr, Allen was also prominent In Masonic circles, being a past mas ter of Social Hodge No, 1, A. Ai F. M. - the oldest Masonic lodge In the state; was past eminent commander of Georgia Cnmmandery No. 1, Knights of Templar, of this city, and a Shrlner. He held memberships as well In the Knights of l’ythias, Odd Fellows and Red Men, and was very popular In every secret order of which he was a member. lir. Allen was a frequent contribu tor to Medical and Masonic literature, hating several times been connected editorially with some of the leading medical publications in the state. It Is of great Interest to know* that the Allens—Dr. Allen's grandfather and also great grandfather were prominent In the medical profession In Georgia for almost the past two hundred years. Dr. Allen’s father, however, was not a physician, hut was a successful business man. as It was tits Intention In his early years to be come. He began bis business career as a clerk with the establishment of Thomas Richards, dealer In books and stationery In Augusta. Ills life, like that of hts late son, was filled with usefulness. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. Possessed Charity. T>r. Allen was a man who possessed charity In Its best and broadest sense. All men were his brothers anl his love of humanity was the great secret of his wonderful success tvs a healer of physical and spiritual man. Other healers are now carrying on the work which they learned from his teach ings. us he wished for his work to con tinue for ages yet to come, work for alleviating pain and saving life, work which he loved as he loved his fellow man Itv Inheritance. Dr. Allen was one of God's workmen and his very soul was filled with a desire to heal ami comfort which won for him the gratitude of all. A gentleman of honor and high principle and both by his example and teachings Is the world better for his having lived. Koal true brotherly charity, without a thoughgt of pecuniary gain, was Dr. Allen's theory as well as his practice, and If every suffering soul to whom he has contributed relief would place the single petal of a flowrer on his grave the mound would he piled Utgh with blossoms. An entire life spent in serv ing his fellow beings is fit to adorn the resting place of the highest und the best. Great Is the shaft of grati tude which looms unseen over the quiet and still form of him who hath done his work well. COLUMBIA INS AUGUSTA BATE Ordered That Charges to S. S.
