Daily State Journal, Madison, Wisconsin, Thursday, July 14, 1859 Page 1 ********* A Heart Rending Calamity.- We were never called upon to record such a sad and melancholy accident as the death, by drowning, of Mr. James Allen, of Manitowoc Rapids-one of the most estimable and respected citizens of our county. He was in the village on the Fourth, enjoying the society of his friends, and started for home about 5 o'clock, P.M. Not arriving to his family in season, fears were entertained, and search was made next day. His hat was found in the river near the Rapids, which fact confirmed the worst fears of his friends. Search was continued until Thursday morning, when his cold and lifeless body was found beneath the waters. It is supposed that in crossing the bridge, at the Rapids, he missed his footing and fell in the angry waters, never to rise again. He was a very intelligent man, and possessed the confidence and esteem of all his neighbors-being, at the time of his death, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. A wife and seven children are left to mourn his sudden and unexpected death. May a kind Providence comfort and protect them.
