Lucinda Newsom married James Clark Anderson on Jan 29, 1843. He died in 1857 and she married John H. Allen (1820-1888) on July 20, 1862 in Williamson Co, TN.
Mrs. Lucinda Allen died at the home of her son-in-law, Enoch Brown, on November 22, 1900. If she had lived until the following Sunday, November 25, she would have been seventy-six years old. Her maiden name was Newsom. In 1843 she and my father, James C. Anderson, were married. They lived happily together until September 12, 1857, when he died, leaving mother with four children to rear--two girls and two boys--the oldest being a daughter twelve years of age. In July, 1862, she and John H. Allen were married. He died on July 5, 1888. To this union two children--a daughter and a son--were born. In 1840 she was baptized into Christ. Her health had not been good for some time before her death, and we felt she could not be with us much longer; still we were not expecting the summons to come so soon. Her death was sudden and unexpected, no one being in the room with her, at the time, except her daughter, Sister Lulie Brown, and a colored woman. We are thankful that, though our hearts and homes are filled with sorrow and sadness, we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Mother's chief concern and greatest delight was to wait upon the Lord. She rests from her labors, and, truly, her works do follow her. She, indeed, leaves to her children and kindred the heritage of a good name. The verdict of all who knew her is: She was a good woman. ---W. Anderson. Gospel Advocate, December 13, 1900, page 797.
