Jan 31, 1877-Apr 28, 1908) “Early
Tuesday morning, at the home of her parents, six miles north of Sprague, Miss
Laura Underwood committed suicide by shooting herself through the head.
That night the young lady had slept with her mother, and on awakening,
declared that she would “end it all”, placed the revolver to her head and
fired. The services of a physician were unavailing as she lived but an hour.
Miss Underwood has been in poor health, and has recently worried a great deal
over the anticipation of losing a homestead when she came to make final
proof.” (Citizen: May 1908) SLE page 710 mentions Anna Laura in the list of
children of Willard and Georgianna (Jensen) Underwood. From that history it
would appear that the family was in Winterset, Iowa in the year of her birth:
Jan 31, 1877.

“Asa Van Allen, one of the civil war veterans, has recently been granted a pension of $8 per month dating from 1900.” (Sprague Times: 9-19-1902) “Asa Van Allen was informed Wednesday that his homestead shanty had been burned down. No particulars were furnished but the place was either set on fire with a purpose or else was accidentally burned by hunters or campers. Mr. Van Allen had two stoves and a full outfit batching furniture in the house. His loss is between $100 and $200.” (Sprague Times: 3-13-1903) “William Morrill, a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. A. Van Allen, was here this week for a few days. Mr. Morrill is a machinist in the Great Northern shops at Hillyard.” (Sprague Times: 9-11-1903) “A. Van Allen of Sprague, a pioneer blacksmith who has been at the forge for 22 years, announces that he will retire on account of age and offers to rent his shop for $10 a month.” (Citizen: 7-28-1911)
VanAllen, Asa: (TS: 1846-1916; Co B 111th NY Inf) “Asa Van Allen, pioneer blacksmith and a resident of Sprague for over 20 years, died at Hillyard yesterday morning. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the Methodist Church and burial will be in Maccabee Cemetery.” (Sprague Advocate: 5-19-1916) “Asa Van Allen, pioneer blacksmith, soldier of the civil war and respected citizen of Sprague for over 25 years, died last Thursday at the home of his eldest daughter, Mrs. Wm Morrill at Hillyard. The remains were brot to Sprague Saturday morning and the funeral was held that afternoon at 3 o’clock from the ME Church, Rev J F Cook officiating. The body was interred by the side of the wife and mother who preceded him to the better land 11 years ago. Mr. Van Allen was born in Geneva, New York, Jan 24, 1846 being 70 years, 3 months and 25 days old at death. He removed form his birth place to State Line, Indiana, where he lived some years, coming to Sprague in 1889. he has lived here continuously ever since except the last year and most of that time conducted the blacksmith shop on the corner of 2nd and C Streets. His health has been very poor for about a year, locomotor ataxia being the cause of his death. He lived the last year of his life with his eldest daughter, Mrs. Anna Morrill of Hillyard, who with her family gave him the best of care and made easy as possible his last days. He was a life long Christian, a member of the ME Church and practiced his religion in every day life. He was generally beloved by those who knew him best. The writer lived in the same house with him for over three years and feels qualified to speak of his character in the highest terms. He was devoted to his family, self sacrificing and patient and his life was an example which any one should be proud to emulate. He was a civil war veteran, enlisting in the 11th regiment, New York Infantry, Co D, and was honorably discharged at the end of the war. He was a member of Buckman Post 14, GAR of Sprague which in its early days had a membership exceeding 90. Of this number only three are now known to be alive. Jack McElroy of Sprague who carried the colors to the last resting place, Wm Dean of Orting and L V Allen of Lords Valley. The surviving near relatives are: Mrs. Wm Morrill, of Hillyard; Mrs. Paul Schedler of Spokane; Mrs. Shallenberger of Jefferson City, Missouri; and Porter of Seattle, also a sister in the east. Four children are dead. The first named two daughters and families were present at the funeral, also Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Morrill of Hillyard.” (Sprague Advocate: 5-26-1916) “The will of Asa Van Allen, extensive property holder of Sprague, who died here recently, was filed in the Superior Court Tuesday for probate. The estate is to be divided equally among the children.” (Sprague Advocate: 7-07-1916; edit: The known children are: Anna May Morrill, Lelia Schedler and Mrs. Schallenberger, and one son.) “Record of Funeral of Asa VanAllen. Order given by McMorrill & McMorrill. Residence: Hillyard, WA. Place of death: Hillyard. Funeral: Sprague with Rev Cook. Cause of death: myocarditis. Occupation of deceased: Blacksmith. Interment: Maccabee, in Family Plot.” (Sprague Mortuary ledger; edit: apparently another mortuary handled the majority of billings, except immediate cemetery fees of hearse and opening of grave)
Van Allen, Dash: (added: d. 1904) “Dash, the faithful old hunting dog which has been in the Van Allen family for eight years, died Monday. His symptoms in his last sickness resembled those of poisoning, but it is hard to believe that there is such an unscrupulous person as a dog poisoner in the neighborhood in which the dog lived.” (Sprague Times: 3-11-1904; edit: not likely that the dog is in Maccabee Cemetery, but it is a part of the Van Allen history)

Funeral services were held in the Methodist church Sunday, interment being in the Maccabee Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Varnum came to Sprague only a few years ago and both were invalids when they came, thus their circle of acquaintances was small. By the death of Mrs. Varnum, the husband is left a hopeless invalid suffering from a most terrible cancer on his face. In this pitiable condition, Mr. Varnum is entitled to the tenderest sympathies of this community.” (Sprague Times: 3-25-1904)
