ALLEN - Loring Fenton Allen was born in Mansfield, Pa., April 22, 1832, and died in the Blossburg hospital March 6, 1919 at 7:15 a.m. He was a son of Almon and Polly Bates Allen, being the last survivor in a family of seven children. Much of his boyhood was spent in the New England states, the family having moved to Massachusetts soon after his birth. In early manhood he came to New York state and in August 1856 he married Pherona O. Benson, of Jamestown, NY, who died at their home in Mansfield in August 1889. A good portion of his life was spent in Mansfield, where, at different times, he engaged in various business enterprises. He was steward of the Mansfield State Normal School during part of his brother's [F.A. Allen] principal ship, and later under Dr. Thomas. He was associated with James E. Mathews in the hotel business in Mansfield and when Mr. Mathews went to take charge of the Harford Soldiers' Orphan School he accompanied him, being employed there until the school was discontinued, when he returned to Mansfield and made his home with his sister-in-law, the late Mrs. Jane M. Allen. A few years ago he sustained a fall, fracturing a hip bone, from which he never recovered sufficiently to walk. His end came peacefully, closing a long and active life. - Wellsboro Agitator, March 19, 1919 Fenton Allen, widower = 82542 Death Cert. #32741; Cause – Arteriosclerosis, senility b. 22 April 1832, Mansfield, PA; d. 6 March 1919, Blossburg Cottage State Hospital Occupation – Meat Cutter Parents – Almon Allen, Mass. + Polly Bates, Mass.
