Reverend and Judge A. (Alexander) P. Allen
"Valmont, situated at the confluence of the North and South Boulders, aspired to be the chief town and county seat of Boulder County. It was laid off in 1865 by Judge/Rev.
A. P. Allen and his sons, Rev. G. S. Allen and Dr. Henly Wheaton Allen, with Holden Eldred."
*"Rev. A. P. Allen, a native of Connecticut. He went to Ohio in early manhood, and about 1835 was admitted to the Illinois bar. Later he became a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and had pastorates at Janesville, Milwaukee and Fond du Lac. In 1860 he started across the plains with his family (exclusive of the doctor) in covered wagons drawn by numerous yokes of cows. Arriving in Colorado he located in what is now comprised within West Denver, and remained in that section until the disastrous flood, when he removed to Blackhawk, where he resided for two years, thence came to Valmont, Boulder County. Here he served as county commissioner for three terms; was judge of the probate court for two terms and was acting as county commissioner at the time of his death in 1880, at the age of sixty-six years. His wife, whose maiden name was Cornelia Hayden, was born in Vermont, and died just two weeks prior to the death of her husband. Her father, a merchant tailor, went to the City of Mexico on a trip years ago; he was murdered by a fanatic, in his own shop, during the passing of a Catholic procession. Of the four children of Rev. A. P. Allen and wife the two daughters are: Mrs. Ophelia Eldred, of Boulder, and Mrs. Nellie Andrews, of Cheyenne. G. S. Allen, now of Los Angeles, Cal., came to this state in 1860, and by turns was a preacher, a miner and a freighter of goods across the plains and mountains hereabout."
