Samuel Leeds Allen's parents were John Casdorp Allen Sr (1807-1896) and Rebecca Smith Leeds (1815-1890).
Sarah Hooten (Roberts) Allen's parents were Elisha Roberts (1818-1885) and Elizabeth West Hooten (1819-1889).
Concerned that his Farm Equipment employees would be laid off over the winter months, Samuel Allen (a great sledding enthusiast himself) devised a winter top-seller in the Flexible Flyer.
The Flexible Flyer Sled Museum at the Moorestown Library would love to receive a copy of this photo of SL Allen and Sarah, residents of Moorestown NJ
ReplyDeletePhilip - As you can see above, the original of this photo was sent to the Johnson County Historical Library in Coralville Iowa. I no longer have the photograph in my possession. I would recommend that a representative of the Moorestown Library contact them to inquire about the photograph. Perhaps they have wrapped up their flexible flyer exhibit by this time. Alternatively, if you click on the photo above of the Allens, you will be taken to a larger version of the image which you can easily save and print. I hope you find this information useful. Thank you for visiting the blog.
