Chaplain Allensworth had just stepped
off a streetcar in Monrovia when a motorcyclist ran him down. They rushed him
to the hospital where doctors worked on him through the night. Unfortunately
they could not save him and he died the next day, September 14, 1914.

Chaplain Allensworth's home going, the city of Monrovia will "commemorate the

Allensworth President Thomas Stratton, Monrovia Historian Steven Baker, and
