WORLD WAR I VETERAN
Allen Carleton PHILLIPS was born in 1896 in Montreal, PQ Canada, only son and second child of Calno Phillips and his wife, Ella McMartin Phillips. His ancestors were early settlers in pre-Revolutionary War New York state ( mother's McMartins) and the Eastern Townships of British settlements in Quebec.( father's Phillips). They were both politically British, Loyalists of the frontiers of North America.
Allen's parents left Quebec soon after his birth and migrated south to the United States, where Calno found wellpaid work in the growing Connecticut industrial towns of the mid 19th century.
The family soon saved enough to follow their dreams of independence and self sufficient farming in the newly opening lands of western America. Calno grew up on his family' s homesteaded farm in Eastern Washington state.( near Euphrata)
A very tall and athletic boy, Allen was crack shot, good rider and spent his time in the out of doors.
Tragedy hit the family in 1907 when his father was injured and died,leaving the small family ( his mother, sister and himself) alone and vulnerable on their sprawling sheep ranch. They packed up and returned to Montreal where hia mothers sinlings lived. Allen was returned to schooling there in an urban setting. he was reportedly very unhappy.
His mother then went to live with his sister, Gladys Phillips Sinclair and her husband, John Sinclair, in the U.S.leaving Allen with his uncles famy in Canada.
Young Allen fit into the family of his mother' s brothers- the famous McMartin brothers, John and Duncan McMartin- They were at that time successful miners, having just " hit it rich" with several expansive mining ventures, including the Porcupine Mountain and Homestake Gold and Silver Mines. McMartins soon diversified into railroading, timber and milling and Allen enjoyed a rubust, fast paced and adventurous life with his Canadian family.
World War I ended this when he was drafted and spent several years in the US Marines.
He met his wife, the lovely Elsie Wright, in the American South ( Fredericksburg, Virginia) when he was posted there during war training.
