May 22, 1908
Mr Robt. ALLAN, a former and well known resident of Natimuk, died at Horsham
on Monday evening after a lingering illness, and much sympathy is felt for
Mrs ALLAN in her sad bereavement. Deceased was born about 40 years ago and
at an early age entered the drapery establishment of Messrs J. THOMPSON and
Co. in that town, being subsequently transferred to the firm's Horsham
branch. Some 16 or 17 years ago Mr ALLAN was engaged by Mr C. SCHURMANN as
draper and book-keeper, and he held this position for 14 years. In 1902 he
married Miss Marie SCHURMANN, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Rudolph
SCHURMANN, of Natimuk, the issue being one child, a daughter. A little
over 2 1/2 years ago Mr ALLAN secured a position as draper in a Coleraine
house, resigning 12 months ago to enter into partnership with his brother as
drapers at Horsham. Directly after this deceased's health began to fail
seriously, and he had been invalided for six months before his death. His
remains were interred in the Horsham cemetery yesterday. On Wednesday
evening the members of the choir of the Presbyterian Church, Natimuk, of
which he was an active member, passed a resolution of sympathy with Mrs
ALLAN.
