General Notes: Husband - Jacob S. Allen

---

Very early in life, he became employed in the lumber business, and in 1873 bought fifty-three acres of the Egner farm, that he chose for a family residence, and set about improving and beautifying the place. For many years he was associated with William Kirkland, his brother-in-law, in the lumber business; their mode of procedure was to buy tracts of timber, cut down the trees that were suitable for good lumber, saw the lumber with portable mills, and place the finished product on the market. They operated both in Lawrence and Beaver counties, and had successful results.
Mr. Allen followed the bent of the family in religious views and was a Presbyterian, while in political affairs also he adhered to the faith of his fathers and was a strong Republican, decided in his opinions and courageous in the utterance of them.
