ELLEN (BARCALOW) ALLMAN, 29 Sep 1833 - 15 Feb 1902

   Mrs. Ellen Allman was born in Bristol, Bucks county, 
Pennsylvania, Sept. 29, 1833.  Died at her home near Metz, Ind., 
Feb. 15, 1902.
   About the year 1834, her parents moved to Melmore, Seneca 
county, O., and in 1845, removed to Williams county, Ohio, where 
she grew to womanhood.  In January, 1856, she was married to 
Barnabas Allman.  To this union were born six children, all of whom 
survive her.  In 1864, with her husband and family, she came to 
Indiana and settled on the farm near Metz, Steuben county, where 
she has since resided.  Her husband departed this life in December, 
1888, since which time with her children about her she has still 
maintained her old home, now made sacred to them forever by 
hallowed memories of her.  In early life she gave her heart to 
Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and all her 
life bore the rich fruits of christian love and piety.  Her love 
was of the kind that thinketh no evil, and to her the hand of need 
was never stretched in vain.  Generous to a fault in thought and 
action her life was a reflection of the spirit of the meek and 
humble Savior, whose faithful follower she was.  She bore the 
trials and intense sufferings of her protracted illness without a 
murmur of complaint and leaves to her children a rich heritage of 
patience, of perseverance and of unswerving allegiance to the right 
under all circumstances.  Of dignity, of industry, of prudence and 
of sterling womanhood she was an example above reproach.  A most 
noble and loving mother, a kind and generous friend and neighbor 
has gone to her reward.  Her earthly work is done and well done, 
and secure in the promise of Him who doeth all things well, she is 
at rest. 
   Funeral at the late home of the deceased near Metz, Monday 
afternoon, Feb. 17, C. S. Medbury officiating, assisted by C. C. 
Smith.
