Billington, Allen (29 SEP 1876 - 27 APR 1959)

 

This afternoon at 2:00 o’clock funeral services will be held for Allen Billington, longtime resident and former businessman in the Village of Withee (Clark Co., Wis.).  The Rev. Cecil Ward will officiate at the final rites and burial will be made at Riverside Cemetery.

Mr. Billington’s death was sudden and a surprise to his numerous friends and relatives as he succumbed to a heart attack suffered in his home at 1:15 Monday afternoon.  He was 82 years and 7 months of age, having been born Sept. 29, 1876, at Ithaca, N.Y.

 

His passing is mourned by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Wallace (Leone) Sharpe, Fairfield, Mont., and Mrs. Norman (Mildred) Backus, Valparaiso, Ind., and four grandchildren.

 

A complete obituary will be published next week.
