MILTON L. ALLEN is a son of Hiram and Keziah (COOK) Allen, natives of North Carolina, the former born in 1788, and the latter in 1812. They came to this county in early life, when the father followed farming as an occupation, and eventually became one of the largest land holders in the community. He was at one time county commissioner, and at another represented Daviess County in the State Legislature. His death occurred in 1844. The mother still lives at the age of seventy-three.

Milton L. was born in 1843, and at the age of sixteen began the battle of life for himself. When nearly seventeen years old he married Amanda LYTTON, sho was born in 1839, daughter of Hosea and Elizabeth (PATTERSON) Lytton. Mr. and Mrs. Allen became the parents of six children: Lucetta, Gordon, Mason A., Walter I., Florence and Susan.

Mr. Allen was one of the "boys in blue," and served in Company B, Twenty-seventh Indiana Infantry, enlisting in 1861. He was in the battles of Winchester, South Mountain, Ball's Bluff, Cedar Mountain, Resaca, Antietam, and many lesser engagements. At the last-named battle he was severly wounded by a minie-ball, and for several weeks lay at the point of death. As a partial compensation he received a pension of $6 per month. He served for over three years, and after returning home gave his entire attention to farming, and now owns 141 acres of land.

He is a member of the Christian Church, and was constable of Van Buren Township for two years.
