She was united in marriage to Richard Morton, on March 28th, 1850, and now resides with her husband and three daughters, on section 3, in Liverpool township where they are highly respected and esteemed. The Rev.

Mr. Allen cultivated his farm for a living, and preached on the Sabbath at the neighboring houses of the Baptist faith. He served as a private during the Black Hawk war, and died November 7th, 1838. In life, he was highly esteemed by the church, and by all who knew him, as a zealous Christian. The duties of the farm rested on Mrs Allen.
