ALLEN THOMAS SUBLETT
1851-1935
  
Allen Thomas Sublett, 84, aged resident of Johnson County died at
his home Saturday, November 9 from a cronic skin ailment.  Mr.
Sublett, son of Mathew and Jane Baldwin Sublett, was born March 3,
1851.  His mother was from North Carolina, and his father moved
from Virginia into Kentucky about 95 years ago.  They were among
Kentucky's first families.
  
Mr. Sublett had suffered for quite a time and has been confined to
his house during his recent sickness.  He had an unusually large

living.  Those surviving him are:  Mrs. Fred Baldwin, Mrs. Walker
Horn, Mrs. Ivan VanHoose, Mrs. Ransom Daniel, Mrs. Ralph Williams,
Mrs. Heber Ward, daughters; Matthew, Tandy, Brookie Monroe and
Frank, and one sister, Mrs. Jennie Picklesimer of  Volga.  He is
also survived by thirty-eight grandchildren and eight great-
grandchildren.
  
An unusual feature of the funeral was that all of his children and
their wives and husbands and all his grand children and their
wives and husbands except one; and all of his  great-
grandchildren except three attended the services.
  
Mr. Sublett lived an ideal Christian life.  He was kind to all who
knew him and always had a good word for his friends and
acquainances.  Services were held at the homplace with the
Reverand Burns Conley and the Reverand Zack Cavin in charge of the
services.  
   
He was buried on the hill overlooking his home.
