OBITUARY MISS MARLGARET ALLEN Miss Margaret Frances Allen passed eway at her residence, "Drumralla", Beech Avenue, Bowmnanvile, on January 24, 1959 at the age of 91. Thougli in poor heulth for some time, Miss Allen's memory remained remarkably clear for her years, and she was able to assist Centennial bistorà'ans last year by recallîng evérhts and people of years gone by. She and her sister, Miss Clara Allen, who pnedeceased her on May 22, 1955, used ta be frequently con- sulted over the years for remin- iscences of this nature, both ha- ving excellent memories. Miss Allen w'as born nt the family borne on the Lakeshore in Clarke Township on August 28, 1867, and came to Bowmanville with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Allen, when the family moved bei-e in 1878. At that time, Beech Avenue had just been put through the estate of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. McLaugh- lin, "Rathskamory", which until then had comprised the entire block, running through to Cen- tre Street. The large brick res- idence. *'Drurnralla", erected by Mr. Allen, was the first house built on the newly laid out street. Miss Allen was a member of St. Paul's United Church and took an active part in the affairs of the church and the womnen's organizations as long as ber health permitted. She was the first president of the Girls' Aux- iliary formed in 1910, which la- ter ibecame the Evening Auxili- ai-y. Her intenest in her church, the younger people, and affairs of the town remained brig*I to her last illness. >Ç A sister, Mrs. R.
