LD SETTLERS TALES by Fred Crevecour
William W. Allen and wife, Charlotte, came to Kansas from Illinois, in 1872. They are natives of New Brunswick, Canada, coming to Illinois in 1848. Mr. Allen bought his claim, which he homesteaded, of Cox, which is the farm on which he lived until recently. His children, who came her with him are: Martin Luther, Josephine (Mrs. George Bennett, of Wheaton, who was married when she came here), Eugene and Lotta. He also brought a grandchild (Sarah) with him, who is now Mrs. John C. Blakely, of Westmoreland. Martin Luther is living northwest of Elsworth, Kan., where he is running a blacksmith shop. Eugene lives northwest of Westmoreland, resident of Wheaton. He was in Co. D, 11th Ill. Vol. Inf., during the war. It would be a rather difficult matter to say what nationality Mr. Allen is, as he is of English, Irish, Scotch and Dutch extraction, being one-fourth of each.
