General Notes: Husband - Moses Riddell Allen

---

He was born in Harrison County, Ohio, and in 1859 removed with his father to Burgettstown, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and thereafter was a resident of that county. His education was received at the common schools and at Franklin College, New Athens, Ohio, after which he taught school in Washington County. For a time he carried on farming operations, also a mercantile business, and on August 2, 1881, he founded the Burgettstown Call, which he published till January 1, 1887, when, having been elected to the office of clerk of courts of Washington County, he sold the paper to the owner of the Enterprise (J. H. Cramer), after which the two were consolidated with the title Enterprise-Call. Mr. Allen then removed to Washington, where he then had his home, and was re-elected in 1890 to the same office.
He was a Republican in his political preferences, and served as burgess of Burgettstown, also as clerk of council. In 1880 he enumerated the census of the First Precinct of Smith township. After moving to Washington he served as director of the Keystone Building & Loan Association, a local organization.
He was a member and deacon of Dr. Brownson's (First Presbyterian) Church of Washington, and was also a member of the Improved Order of Heptasophs, of Washington, and filled the office of "Archon" in the order beginning from its organization. He was also secretary of the school board of East Washington.
