Scrapbook with obituaries and other clippings on John Beard Allen, 1903-1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263962426

Bound negative photostats of leaves from a scrapbook primarily containing obituaries for John B. Allen, including the text of the eulogy given by Judge Thomas Burke at the State Bar Association. The original scrapbook probably was compiled by Allen's youngest daughter, Harriet P. (Allen) Collins, who, according to a note in pencil on the volume, loaned the originals in July 1949 (presumably for the purposes of copying). In addition to the obituaries, the scrapbook contains a few clippings of a later date, including a 1915 article which discusses a proposed gift of land in Seattle's Bitter Lake neighborhood, which Allen's widow intended to donate to the Women's Century Club, to be named in Allen's honor and dedicated to philanthropic purposes.
