“Hub” Allen Dead

The many friends of D. Herbert Allen, “Hub” as he was affectionately called by his chums of the newspaper fraternity are deeply grieved to learn of his untimely death which occurred last week at El Paso, Texas, whither he had gone some months ago in search of health. He was president of the West Florida Press Association and one of Florida’s most brilliant young newspaper men. For several years he published the Milton Gazette, until failing health compelled him to give up the newspaper business. He was a genial, warm-hearted friend and a newspaper man who, if he ever felt resentment toward anyone, was too thorough a gentleman to who evidence of it in the columns of his paper. He was a man whom to know was to love as a brother, and The Herald, in common with the newspaper fraternity generally feels a distinct and abiding sense of loss in his death. To his sorrowing wife and other relatives we tender sincerest sympathy.
