Motorists Find Body of Maryville Man Near Savannah.
EXHAUSTION IS CAUSE
Heath Claimed Real Estate Man as He Climbed    Hill   Carrying Gasoline.
Joseph   R    Allen, age   60, Maryville real estate agent   associated with   his brothers, John and William Allen since 1908, was found dead about 2 o'clock this   morning     on   a   road-side     eight miles west of Savannah. When the body was found Dr. S.   H. Beaver of Amazonia, coroner of Andrew county, was notified and conducted a view inquest over the body     The coroner’s   verdict   ascribed   the death   to exhaustion.

Mr. Allen accompanied by R. B. Kent, a farmer living south of Maryville had driven to Andrew County to inspect a farm.

Went   for Gasoline

When they came to a steep hill the car could not up enough speed to make   the grade.     Although   the tank contained five gallons of gasoline Mr. Allen decided that more gas would be needed   to give    the car enough   power to climb the hill.    With a lantern in one hand and   a five-gallon gas can in the other, Mr   Allen set off for a long walk to a farm house to obtain some gasoline.     Mr. Kent    remained with the car. That was about 7 o'clock last night.

Body Found This Morning

 A   group   returning     from     a     New Year’s celebration at 2 o'clock in the morning found the body about a half-mile distant from the car.    Mr   Allen was lying face downward, the lantern clutched in one hand and the gas container in the other.

Mr   Kent   had   fallen asleep in the car and for this reason the search for Mr. Allen did not begin until a few minutes before the body was found by the New Year’s merry-makers.  

The body was brought to Maryville this morning.  Funeral services will be held at 9 o’clock Friday morning at St    Patrick’s church.        The   Rev. Fr. Robert Graham, pastor, will officiate. Burial will be at St. Patrick’s cemetery.

Mr. Allen was born   July, 1869, at Cascade in Jones County, Ia. He came to Nodaway County in 1877 and settled on a farm two and a half miles south of Maryville     Before going into real estate   business   with   his   brother   in 1908 he was a traveling salesman for a Chicago firm.

Mr. Allen was a member of the St. Patrick’s church of Maryville. In addition to the two brothers with whom   Mr.   Allen was associated    with in business he is survived by a sister, Miss Delia Allen of Kansas City.
