General Notes: Husband - David B. H. Allen

---

He was educated in the public schools, and being of a mathematical turn of mind he became a surveyor. He followed this business during the remainder of his life and became quite proficient at it. He was considered a good business man, and on account of his general intelligence and ability he was called upon to settle many estates, write wills, and do other work that required knowledge and skill. In 1851 he purchased a farm on which he lived at the time of his death. Owing to his industry, economy and business ability he was enabled to accumulate considerable property, and at his death left more than three hundred acres. During his life he was a stanch republican and took a very active part in political matters. The Disciple church was his chosen denomination, in which he was an elder and an indefatigable worker.

He and his wife were the parents of twelve children; seven were still living in 1890.
