Henry Gray Allanson was born to John Sylvanus Allanson and Ellen Brown. He married Alice Myrtle Richardson of Minnesota, born 1877, on June 2, 1926 in Rosholt, Roberts County, Minnesota. They had three children, including a son named Harry in 1898. Two girls survived, Winona Blanche Allanson, born 1897, in Minnesota and Ellen Charlotte Allanson, born 1900 at Fort Yates, North Dakota. On the 1900 US Census they are living on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota and he is working as a teacher. In 1910 he is divorced and a resident of Fergus Falls Hospital for the mentally ill. At that point in our history it was also used for reclamation of inebriates. Perhaps over drinking as a result of the divorce rather than mental illness? Ellen moves to Minneapolis and is listed in the city directories 1930 - 1939 as the widow of Henry Gray Allanson who died in 1926.
