[1] George Beardsley Allen is buried at Elmlawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York in the same grave as George W., Elizabeth K., and Farnsworth Bass (perhaps a sister of George?). Data in census records suggests George m. Mary K. ? in 1880 after the census was enumerated, since in the census he lives with son John Benjamin in the household of his sister Alice and her husband David Wall. In 1910, the couple is enumerated together and the census says they have been married for 21 years. Since Louisa Emeigh Allen did not die until 1916, she and George must have divorced. Mary K. ? had one son named George W. Wood to whom Geroge left a gold watch while he gave $1 each to his three birth children.
