"Collins B. Allen --
Senator Allen was born on the old Homestead farm, Mannington township, on August 9th, 1866. He studied in the public school in that locality for some time, and afterward entered a private school in Salem. He was elected a member of the Mannington Board of Education in 1896, appointed district clerk of that board in 1897. Senator Allen resigned as a member of the Board of Education last winter, so that his place might be filled at the annual election, as he was moving out of the district. He still holds the position of district clerk. In 1897 Senator Allen was elected township clerk and held that office until elected for the Senate. He also served as Sheriff of Salem County for a term of three years, beginning in 1905. He is a director of the Salem National Banking Company, and was for some time a director of the South Jersey Farmer's Exchange. He is a member of Salem Grange, No. 172, and held that office of Master for two years. He is also a member of Forest Lodge, No. 7, K. of P.
He was elected to the Senate in 1914 by a plurality of 519 over Smick, Democrat, and was re-elected in 1917 by the increased plurality of 1,707 over David A. English, Democrat. In 1920 Senator Allen was re-elected to the Senate by a plurality of 3,308, over Ware. The Senator was chosen majority leader for the session of 1920 and helped to make Salem County and make himself famous by being made President of the Senate for the 1921 session.
Senator Allen ranks among the country's great men of the soil. Married in 1892, he started farming on the Wyatt W. Miller homestead in Mannington and resided there continually until the 23rd of last March, when he moved to 117 W. Broadway, Salem. For eighteen years in addition to farming, Senator Allen raised several thousand ducks each year, most of which were sold to the late Clark Helms, of Swedesboro."
