About the year 1834, her parents moved to Melmore, Seneca county, O., and in 1845, removed to Williams county, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood. In January, 1856, she was married to Barnabas Allman. To this union were born six children, all of whom survive her. In 1864, with her husband and family, she came to Indiana and settled on the farm near Metz, Steuben county, where she has since resided. Her husband departed this life in December, 1888, since which time with her children about her she has still maintained her old home, now made sacred to them forever by hallowed memories of her.
In early life she gave her heart to Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and all her life bore the rich fruits of christian love and piety. Her love was of the kind that thinketh no evil, and to her the hand of need was never stretched in vain. Generous to a fault in thought and action her life was a reflection of the spirit of the meek and humble Savior, whose faithful follower she was. She bore the trials and intense sufferings of her protracted illness without a murmur of complaint and leaves to her children a rich heritage of patience, of perseverance and of unswerving allegiance to the right under all circumstances. Of dignity, of industry, of prudence and of sterling womanhood she was an example above reproach. A most noble and loving mother, a kind and generous friend and neighbor has gone to her reward. Her earthly work is done and well done, and secure in the promise of Him who doeth all things well, she is at rest.
Funeral at the late home of the deceased near Metz, Monday afternoon, Feb. 17, C. S. Medbury officiating, assisted by C. C. Smith.
