the same farm north of Oswego since the late 60's died late yesterday at
the home of a nephew, Howard Alloway, near Altamont, where he had been
removed Monday. His death was attributed largely to influenza, although
he never recovered fully from a paralytic strike suffered several years
ago.
Mr. Alloway had not been entirely incapacitated by the attack of paralysis, however, and had been able to work and was a visitor here last Saturday. He was the last survivor of his immediate family and was unmarried. Mr. Alloway was considred one of the wealthiest farmers in Labette County. Surviving relatives include Hugh Alloway of Coffeyville, Howard Alloway of Altamont, Clarence and Clifford Alloway of Bartlett and H. A. Martin of Wichita, nephews, and Mrs. Oscar Price of Louisburg, Kan. and Mrs. William Fouts of Parsons, nieces.
