| Burial | "W.H. Allen got little or no training in public schools. Upon his father's death in 1877, he became the mainstay of his mother for a time. He moved to Young County in 1880 and worked for S.R. Crawford as a cowboy. In 1886, he drove a stage in the Indian Territory. In 1888, he returned to Young County and bought a farm on Brushy Creek. In 1889, he sold his farm and moved to Clay County buying a farm near Vashti. He owned this farm for two years and spent the next two years on Denton Creek. He purchased 320 acres, one part of the Red River Cattle Company's ranch, and began to make improvements. A two-room box house provided the family shelter and the first winter was spent by the lone cook stove. In 1901, he built a nine-room cottage. The farm was fenced and amply stocked."
