JOHN ALLEN
CALLTOBEYOKD
The Passing of This Esteemed Citizen Takes One
of Sheridan's Oldest
Pioneers.
(Eagle Correspondent)
John Allen was born in Allen settlement, North Hastings, Ont,, August
30th, 1844 and died August 18, 1927
at the age of 82 years, eleven months
and eighteen days.
He was united in marriage to Annie Bailey July 14, 18-8,' To this
union was born four sons and three
daughters all of whom survive: J.
B.; J. A. J and Fred, Mrs. C. S. Runyan. Mrs. F. M. Bates, all of this vicinity; Mrs' Alfred Roe, of Pontiac;
and Hugh, of Mt. Rose. The faithful
wife and mother was laid to rest
May 5, 1926, Thirteen grandchildren,
five great grandchildren, four brothers
and one sister, Mrs. W. D, Mickle, of
Wallaceburg, O.nt,; James, of Grant;
Thomas C, of'Flint; Capt. Alex, of
Wallaceburg, Ont,; and Jake, of Buffalo N, Y., are left to mourn their
loss.
Mr. Allen came to Michigan September 11, 1881, moved to Sheridan in
1883 where he resided until death called him to the home not made by
hands.
His life has been a continued testimony of the spiritual life within, always kind, showing hospitality to
friends and stranger alike. Mr. Allen
was blessed with unusual good health
never having been ill over a period of
fifty years, but the death of his beloved companion and the sudden
death of his brother, R. A. Allen is
believed to be the cause of his sudden decline. While the last .few
weeks his body grew weaker each
day, his mind was clear and active.
He made all the arrangements for the
funeral to the smallest detail. Mr.
Allen will be greatly missed in the
home circle where he was always
patient, kind and considerate, appreciative of every kindness shown
him and. the tender care in his last
days -of the son, J. A. and family.
Throughout the community he will
be missed by old neighbors and
Mends but the memory of his Christian life will live long in the minds
pf the people of the Eagle,
The funeral services were held at
Eagle chm'ch, ReV. Smith, of Clare,
officiating, and interment made in
Cherry Grove cemetery.    •

Mr. Caple has been successful "in
securing contracts for his company at
Mt. Pleasant, Alma, St. Louis and
Mt. Morris, but the Ann Arbor contract is especially gratifying to him
as that city is the home of Prof. W.
C, Hood, one of the consulting eng
ineers who were called to Saginaw
during their water campaign, and
who recommended -the filiation plant
instead of the Clare water supply.
The filter project was discussed at
Ann Arbor as the only solution for
their water supply problem, but tlie
people demanded that the underground supply be developed, even
though it is of extreme hardness, and
the tests have shown an abundant
supply, hence the awarding of the
contract.

MANY QUESTIONS
ASKED ABOUTCLARE
ROADJ.EVELER
New Machine   Has Withstood Every Test Given
it Daily on U. $.40,
.   ,-., .—__ i
As we haye had so many questions
asked about the.' new road leyeler
that is operated by George Haring on .
U. S.-10, as mentioned in the Sentinel
a few weeks ago, we believe the gen*
eral public is interested to the extent'
that they would like to learn more
about this new road maintainor.
In designing a machine Or tool of
any kind, there 'must be some object'
in view; some work or task^ to per-,
form. In this case there are several.
In the summer we have the. washboard chattel*: holes and loose gravel
to contend-with. Icy roads in winter.,
Impassable mud roads in the spring.
As stated in the previous article
this leveler is attached to a Fordson
gradei'. It has six blades and they
are set so that they shave off the high
Spots and fill, in the low ones. The
first set of blades shave and roll the
material one way and the next set
shave and roll it back and the long
leveling blade spreads it evenly over
the bad surface, and is not rolled in
high windows to cause accidents.
Many of our worst wrecks are caused
by loose gravel.
The State Highway Department has
just issued an order that all patrol
i machines must keep to the righ'. side
jof the road.   This is to further public
(Safety.   As there are many more accidents caused by rolls of loose gravel
than there are*' from road machine^
operating on the wrong side oC tha
road, we believe it   will   please ' the
traveling  public   if   the  Department
will stop the dangerous loose gravel
menace also.
We all remember well that last,
winter for several weeks, all of our
roads were in a very dangerous condition for travel on account of ice.
Our state and counties are well equip-
ed to take care of the snow problem*
but little or nothing has been done to
take care of the ice problem. This
new machine is equipped with an extra set of blades -so notched and shaped they will cut and level icy roads
and make them safe for travel. Think
of the ditched cars this would have
saved last winter.
Every spring-, we have more or less
trouble when the frost comes out ancl
last spring it was more. Miles and
railer of our trunkline roads were impassible. This trouble Is caused by
excessive* moI_vUre ?*■ thct r^nd bed.
The roads are so maintai:i3d-th_,- they
are rough and sub-ditches and water
shoulders are formed near the ditch
shoulders and these hold the water
and the roads go into winter frozen
full of ice and when, the warm
weather comes the bottom goes out
of them. 1"he Clare machines are so
constructed that they will smooth off
road shoulders and not allow these
sub-ditches to form ancl hold water
and therefore will elimate a large
part of our springtime road troubles.
And all of this can be done with this
simple, inexpensive device that can
be attached to any tractor grader.
