Harold Thomas Allen was the son of Ransom Allen’s son, John Allen. John was my grandmother Fannie Turner Graham’s first cousin. I did not know about Harold, who died the same year I was born, until the 1940 census was released. I recently found this article via the Momence Facebook Group. I do not have a photograph of Harold. That made me wonder what happened to the family photographs of John and Bobbi Allen when they died without children or siblings.

Interesting post. I never thought of looking in Facebook groups for press clips, but may do so now after seeing this wonderful find you made.
I came across it on Find-a-Grave and from there went to the fb group where I found the clip. I was surprised to find it.
