General Notes: Husband - Jeremiah Allen, Sr.


He was reared on a farm, and attended the common school in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He chose farming as his occupation, and became the owner of 133 acres of well improved land, on which he resided.
In 1844 he and his wife united with the Lutheran Church at Newville, Pennsylvania. He took an active interest in the Sabbath-school, and was superintendent, and for many years he was deacon and trustee of the church. He served nine years as school director. In his younger days he took an active interest in the I. O. O. F. He was a member of the old-fashioned State militia, and took part in many parades, sometimes using a cornstalk as a substitute for a gun.
