us that had such power and influence in revival meetings. He was known throughout the state in Christian Union
councils as a safe advisor, especially did he take great interest in young ministers to encourage them in duty.
There could be volumes written about this good man, but space forbids us saying more now. He united with Christian

where he will be greatly missed as well as in the home and community in which he lived since he has gone to his
reward. His funeral was held in Union church by Rev. Joseph McAdams, assisted by Rev. W. P. Hunt of Fairfax and

Allen, Richard
About the year 1855, a man named Wingo was a wagon-maker in Richmond. Richard Allen, a worthy and respected farmer,
who resided a few miles southeast of Richmond, was one day riding by the shop of Wingo, when the latter, with a
double-barreled shot-gun in his hand, stepped in the street in front of Allen and caused him to halt.. Wingo commanded
him to recant; but the latter denied the accusation, and Wingo discharged the contents of one barrel of his gun
into the head of the defenseless Allen, making a horrible wound, of which he soon died. Wingo stated to run, but
had gone only a short distance when he was apprehended by a crowd of pursuing citizens. He was taken to jail, and
confined till Judge Dunn called a special term of the circuit court for the purpose of trying him. On being brought
into court, he was asked if he was ready for trial; he replied that he was not, and also refused to have any counsel,
protesting that he needed none. The Sheriff then started to return him to jail, and upon reaching the outer steps,
was overpowered by a number of citizens, who, forcibly taking Wingo from him, threw a rope around his neck, and
dragged him (part of the way over a newly macadamized street) on his face and hands, to a place a few hundred yards
north of Colonel Child's present residence. There he was hanged by the neck to the limb of a tree. It was thought
by some, however, that life was extinct before he was hung up.
Wingo's body remained dangling in the air till the next morning, when it was taken down and buried. He was a very
quarrelsome, desperate, and dangerous man, and the community was well rid of him. History of Ray County, 1881

Allison, Mary Frances
Death of Mary Frances Allison.
"Its only a little grave they said,
Its only a little babe that dead.
And so they turned away,
From the mound which the spade had made that day.
But Ah! They did not know how deep a shade,
That little grave in one home had made."
Last Sunday afternoon, February 9th, 1902, just at five o'clock, Mary Frances, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles H. Allison, died at the home of her parents on East Lexington street, after a brief illness from scarlet
fever and pneumonia. Little Mary Frances was born September 15, 1902, and during the five months of her life she
entwined herself about the hearts of her fond parents and other relatives and was the joy of the household. She
was a bright attractive little babe and a home which once was a place of happiness on account of her presence,
is now a scene of sorrow. The bereaved parents have the sincere sympathy of this community in their hour of sorrow.
Rev. G.M. Gibson, pastor of the M.E. Church, South, conducted appropriate religious services at the home Monday
afternoon at three o'clock, following which the body was interred in the city cemetery.
