                                MOTHER OF CITY MAN DIES

Mrs. Nettie Blake Allen of Oklahoma City passed away in an Oklahoma City 
hospital last Friday, after a two months illness.  Mrs. Allen will be 
remembered as Mrs. J. M. Blake, mother of Roger T. Blake, local businessman.

Mrs. Allen was a Pauls Valley resident for 30 years until she left here in 
1936, following the death of her first husband, J. M. Blake.

Mrs. Allen, who would have soon been 74 years old, came to Pauls Valley 
from Missouri in 1912 with her first husband J. M. Blake, and their family, 
and Mr. Blake was a city mail carrier for many years.  After the death of 
Mr. Blake, she left Pauls Valley and resided subsequently in California, 
El Reno, Oklahoma, and more recently in Oklahoma City.

Funeral services for Mrs. Allen were held in the Smith and Kernke Funeral 
chapel in Oklahoma City last Monday morning and the body was brought to 
Pauls Valley for interment beside her first husband.  Brief committal services 
at Mt. Olivet cemetery were conducted by Dr. W. T. Reynolds of the First 
Presbyterian church.

Mrs. Allen is survived by her husband, W. T. Allen, two sons, Floyd Blake, 
Oklahoma City and Roger T. Blake of Pauls Valley; three daughters, Mrs. H. G. 
Kilian, Mrs. Ruth Sibley, both of Oklahoma City; and Mrs. E. A. Newman of 
El Reno, 14 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
