Nov 30, 1900 The Weekly News Penfield, PA
  Oscar Allen was born April 6, 1900 at Bunker Hill, now McKean County, Pa. 
and died at Spring Run, Elk County on Nov 16, 1900. His father was Henry Allen 
and his mother was Elizabeth Hazelton the ancestry being of Scotish descent 
tracable to the days of Wallace and Bruce.
     The deceased came to this region when a young man, and on September 10, 
1854 married Orlinda Amelia, daughter of Arnold Bliss and Freelove Lucore and 
granddaughter of John Bliss the pioneer of the upper Bennets Branch Valley. 
The young people began housekeeping on what is now the L B Lucore farm on 
Mount Pleasant. In 1853 Mr. Allen bought 100 acres where is now the A B Spotts 
farm and lived there until 1865 when the property was sold to Hiram Woodward 
and the family moved to Linn County, Iowa, but constantly ill from fever and 
ague they moved back to the Pine Forests of Pa., in Oct. 1865. For the next 
six years he lumbered and then settled in South Kersey Elk Co. living there 
until 1890 when they moved to Penfield living here until the death of his wife 
on April 26, 1895, after which the home was not regularly maintained, Mr. 
Allen living among his children, being with his daughter Mrs. Adam Wheeler, at 
the time of his death.
     The deceased was of refined, intelligent and gentlemanly disposition. To 
hear him tell of the incidents and adventures of his life was pleasurable and 
profitable. Years ago he united with the Advent Church, but in later years was 
not a member of any church holding that this was not vital to getting to 
Heaven.
     His death was due to Malarial fever and the weakness of multiple years. 
He was fully ready to depart. The funeral was held at the Mount Zion Church 
Sunday November 18th. Samuel Ebersole of the Messiah and Advent church 
officiating. W. L. Joyce, Director, in charge. Burial was in the Mount Zion 
Cemetery.
     The surviving children are Orman A, Elizabeth F (Mrs. W. J. Meredith),  
Loren L, George C., Warren A. and Nancy, (Mrs. Adam Wheeler).
Father, farewell, to thee came rest
When spirit from its home took flight
We feel that now with thee is best
