Son of Jonathan Prior and Nancy (Bennett) Allcock
Cassville Republican April 28, 1910
The death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Allcock in Monett, April 12, and took away their son, Walter, who for twenty years and 10 months had been their joy and pride. So far as it is known it was the dreaded disease, consumption that carried him from earth to swell the number over there. He had been ailing for sometime. Five weeks ago he took his bed and Tuesday morning April 12, a little past midnight the summons came.
Walter was a noble young man beloved by all who knew him, a dutified son, a loving brother and a pleasant companion. Always cheerful and smiling , he was a mother’s comfort and a father’s stay.
He leaves a father, mother, three sisters, three brothers and a host of other friends and relatives to mourn the untimely death. Interment was made in the Calton Cemetery, April 12. A few words were spoken by Rev. C. A. Fly after which members of the M. W. A. Lodge of which Walter was a brother took charge.
