100th Anniversary of Allensworth's Homegoing





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.

To mark the 100th Anniversary of Chaplain Allensworth's home going, the city of Monrovia will "commemorate the life and contributions of this American visionary" on Sunday, September 14, 2014.

Speaking during the two hour program are Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz, Monrovia City Council members, Friends of Allensworth President Thomas Stratton, Monrovia Historian Steven Baker, and representing the Second Baptist Church former city of Duarte Mayor Lois Gaston. The free program is from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at the Monrovia Historical Museum.
