Western Star, Mt. Vernon, IN Thurs Oct 25, 1883, pg. 1
Squire Sid Allyn returned from the West,
Saturday (20 Oct 1883) morning, and in about two hours after
arriving at the residence of his sister in this city, Mrs. Duckworth, he
breathed his last. He resided at Farmersville, but several years since was
elected a justice of the peace, since which time he has been doing business in
this city. He has been suffering with diabetes for a number of years, and in
July last concluded that a trip to his brother in Kansas would benefit his
health. He left there on Tuesday morning, considerably better, but on the road
home took a relapse with the above result. The squire leaves a family and large
circle of friends to mourn his death. His remains were interred in the
Farmersville (Moore) Cemetery Sunday
afternoon.
