He was married to Belle MORRIS in Pennsylvania in 1891. They were the parents of four children, who range in age from five months to thirteen years. Mr. ALLEN was a brother of George W. ALLEN of Buchanan township, Barlow ALLEN of Eugene City, Ore., and Mrs. A. B. HOLLISTER of Colorado Springs, Col.
