Married Allen Collins Hunsaker, 5 Oct 1868, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Children: Emmeline Maud Hunsaker, Lewis Hunsaker, Letitia Hunsaker, Eva Louisa Hunsaker, Amy Hunsaker, Harriet Vessie Hunsaker, Aleen Hunsaker, Ethel Hunsaker, Lilly Mary Hunsaker, Lorenzo Snow Hunsaker, Oscar Hunsaker, Nephi Hunsaker, Simeon Atwood Hunsaker, Harold Hunsaker, Susie Hunsaker, Margaret Hunsaker, Adeline Hunsaker
On October 5, 1868, Allen married Eveline Dunn, the sister of Susannah, in a polygamous marriage, in Salt Lake City. He continued living in Honeyville until 1879 when he moved his families to Elwood, which was then just a sagebrush flat. At this time he kept a large herd of sheep.
In 1887, the raids of the federal marshals against the polygamists started, and in order to avoid being arrested, Allen and his wives had to stay in hiding away from their homes most of the time. Allen was finally caught, however, and sent to prison for six months. After he was released and had been home only a few months, the marshals arrested him several times more.
These arrests were made to harass Allen, and as they could find no new charges to make against him, he was finally left in peace.
At the time he was serving his prison sentence, there were many other Mormons there, among them Rudger Clawson and Lorenzo Snow. Allen formed a lasting friendship with these men which endured the remainder of his life.
