2nd wife of Rev. William Y. Allen.
Margaret Anderson Maxwell was the first white child born in Bloomington, Indiana, and grew to womanhood in that place. Passionately fond of books, she was an inveterate reader, and when a youngh girl would sit up and read anything that she was interested in, the whole night through. When sewing she would have a young sister, who enjoyed the occupation of reading aloud, read to her several hours during the day. In this way volumes and volumes of history and many of the poets became familiar to them. She was a good writer herself, and in the line of essays excelled.
After her marriage, her home was in Rockville, IN, and she passed the remainder of her life among the people of that town. She was recognized as a remarkably intelligent and refined woman, strong in her own individuality, and holding her own opinions upon any subject in which she was interested. She was an earnest Christian and a faithful, living wife and mother.
