General Notes: Husband - Joshua Coleman Allen

---

He remained with his parents until he was twenty-eight years old, obtaining his education in the local schools and assisting with the agricultural work. Then he was married, and they set up housekeeping at the present [1919] home of their son Charles C. Allen, Mr. Allen owning eighty-five acres at that location, which is on the Pittsburgh pike, thirteen miles southwest of Franklin. In 1870 he erected the substantial residence which is still standing there, he and his wife spending the remainder of their days on this property. Mr. Allen improved the place steadily throughout his active years, and also took an active part in local affairs, for the benefit of the community in any form. He was one of the organizers of the Mount Irwin cemetery and served as a director all his life, and like his father he was an active member and elder of the Amity Presbyterian Church. Politically he was a Republican. [CAB, 1034]
