Died of consumption at the residence of his father on the 2nd of May 1866, John ALLEN, Jr. The deceased leaves many warm friends who revere his memory, not less for this integrity and generosity as a man that his gallantry as a solider. He was twice severely wounded, once at Cockran’s Crossroads in a cavalry skirmish, and afterwards at the Battle of Harrisburg. To his neglect of self in his devotion to the Cause, may be traced to his early death. His family has our heartfelt sympathy.
