Drink water and get typhoid fever. Drink milk and get tuberculosis. Drink whiskey and get the jim-jams. Drink soup and get fat. Eat meat and encourage cancer, apoplexy and appendicitis.

Smoke cigarets and die too soon. Drink coffee and fall into insomnia and nervous prostration. Drink tea and get weak heart. Drink wine and so get gout.

Thursday, January 26, 1911

Obituary.

Samuel Allen, one of the best known and most highly respected pioneers of Nobles county, died at his home in this city on Thursday morning, January 19, 1911, after an illness of a few months.

Mr. Allen was born in Worcester, New York, Oct. 30, 1832, the son of Justin and Margaret (Russ) Allen, natives of New York, and one of the old families of the state. In the place of his nativity mr Allen learned the carpenter trade. In 1856 he moved to Ripon, Wis., where he worked at his trade for twenty years.

In the spring of 1866 he came to Worthington where he has since resided and has been identified with the building of the principal residences and business blocks of the city. Among others he built the first brick block, Masonic Temple, the city hall, Carnegie Library, Worthington National Bank building, Peterson & Stitser block, the Morland and Lewis block, German Evangelical church, Wilson store building and the Chaney & McKay store building. Mr. Allen was one of those men who could never be idle and up until a short time before his illness worked at his trade.

He built the Carnegie library in his seventy-fourth year and the city hall in his seventy-sixth, and completed the remodeling of the Catholic church about two months before his death.

He was a man of temperate habits and was always a strong advocate of the temperance cause.

Mr. Allen was married at Ripon, Wisconsin, to Mary E. Clifford. To this union was born eight children, seven of whom are now living, and were in attendance at the funeral -- Romaett, now Mrs. C.H. Saulpaugh of Mankato; Ina Belle, Mrs. W.W. Loveless of this city; Josephine, mrs Stanley Moore of this city; Myron Reed, an electrician at Watertown, S. Dak.; Harry E. of Minneapolis and Carrie Ivanette of this city.

The funeral services were held in this city on Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. G.A. Cahoon, and the remains laid to rest in the Worthington cemetery.

Thus it goes, the Globe has been called upon to chronicle the deaths of several of the early history makers of Nobles county, the past year, those who suffered all the early privations and tribulations of the frontier days, and we wonder will the rising generation do as much toward the upbuilding of the county as those sturdy pioneers who fought almost against hope to make the country what it is today.

John A. Saxon Passes Away.

The people of Worthington were shocked on Sunday morning to learn of the sudden death of one of the earliest pioneers of Nobles county, John Saxon, who died after an illness of only a couple of days of peritonitis.

Mr. Saxon was taken suddenly ill last Friday night with what the physicians though was an obstruction of the bowels. It was found necessary to operate and Dr. Comstock, of St. Paul, one of the leading surgeons of the northwest was called and performed the operation. A curved piece of glass about an inch long was discovered in the intestines, which had cut them. Just where and when Mr. Saxon swallowed it will always remain a mystery. Up until a half hour before his death he seemed to be getting along nicely, but the ultimate end was feared by the physicians.

Mr. Saxon was born in Osterdotland, Sweden, Nov. 18, 1845, and when a mere lad came to America with his parents, one brother and two sisters. In the year of 1852 they settled near Rock Island, Illinois, but within a short time removed to Fulton, Illinois, where he resided until the opening of the Civil War when he entered the service of the government. At the close of the war he returned to Fulton and resided there until 1870, when he moved to Alamaee county, Iowa.

In 1872 he came to Nobles county and settled on a homestead in section 30, Lorain township, where he resided until a couple of years ago, when he came to Worthington. In 1881 he was united in marriage to Martha Johnson, who together with seven children survive to mourn his loss -- Mrs. Alma Christenson, Miss Lillian, Mrs. Una Christenson, George, Violet, Ethel and Earl, all residents of this vicinity. His only surviving sister, Mrs. Christene Harrison, with her husband, of Fulton, Illinois were in attendance at the funeral.

For several years Mr. Saxon served as school director in the district in which he lived in Indian Lake township and was road overseer for a number of years. For three years he was postmaster of the Saxon postoffice situated on his farm. It was discontinued upon the advent of the rural delivery.

Funeral services were held at the house in this city at twelve o'clock Wednesday and at the Baptist church in Indian Lake at 2:30, and the remains interred in the cemetery at that place. The sermons were preached by Rev. Dr. Peterson, of Minneapolis, who with Mr. Saxon as boys romped the deck of the same vessel for ten weeks during the trip across the Atlantic. They came from the same section in Sweden.
