In his father's obit dated 1949, Leo is shown as a resident of Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Leo. J. Allen, known as "Slim," was employed as a carpenter by the small construction company, "E. H. Barnes & Son" of Wichita, Kansas. They built houses, residential additions, and remodel work on small businesses. E. H. was Elijah Harry Barnes (1902-1973). The son in the business was Gene H. Barnes (1928-2007). I don't know which projects Slim worked on, but he did work for them for several years so it would have included quite a few. For a list of some of the E. H. Barnes & Son construction projects, see Findagrave under Gene Harry Barnes (1928-2007), Wichita Park Cemetery, Wichita, Kansas.
(Larry E. Barnes, son of Gene H. Barnes and grandson of Elijah Harry Barnes.)
