Frances Jane Allen was born 08 Jul 1856 in Tennessee, USA to parents David Allen (1853 – 1919) and Nancy Jane Dodson Allen (1833 – 1915). According to the 1860 Federal Census at age 2 years she and her parents have moved from Tennessee to Ozark Township, Webster, Missouri, post office of Marshfield.* The 1870 Federal Census shows Frances living with her family in Union, Webster Missouri with post office in Waldo at age 11 and going to school. The 1880 Federal Census shows her age 21, single and still living at home keeping house in Union, Webster, Missouri. Siblings included; Jesse, Mary, Anna and Matthew.

There is no further documentation of her life after the 1880 census until her death. It is estimated that she married after 1880 and the birth of her first child in 1882 to James Franklin Krider (1862 – 1927).

A newspaper states she died 15 Dec 1897 in Rippee, Missouri. The article in The Marshfield Chronicle, January 6, 1898 as submitted by garizila Monett, Missouri, USA states: Mrs. Francis J Krider wife of James Krider died in her home in Douglas County 16 Dec 1897. She was the daughter of David and Nancy J Allen of Webster County. Mrs. Krider was born in Tennessee. The deceased leaves a husband and eight children, also a father, mother, two brothers and one sister all of Webster County. The remains were buried in the Silverton Cemetery in Douglas County.

Her children were: Laura Ann “Lavera” Krider (1882 – 1945), David Leonard Krider (1883 – 1954), Josephine “Josie” Krider (1885 – 1969), Jessie Pink Krider (1887 – 1952), Sarah J Krider (Jul 1888 - ?), Viola Rebecca Krider (1889 – 1972), Eunica Krider (1893 – 1938), Everett W Krider (Jan 1897 – ?).

The townships mentioned in documents found for Frances Jane Allen no longer exist. Research done has discovered that the town of Rippee, Douglas, Missouri was a historic township founded by the Rippee family in the south, central part of the county. Today it would be located south of Route 14 bridge where it crosses over the Bryant Creek and now is within boundaries of the Rippee State Wildlife Management Area run by the Missouri Department of Conservation. The town did have a post office that was established in 1893 and was decommissioned in 1936.

The newspaper article stated she was buried in the Silverton Cemetery. Silverton was located in the Missouri Ozarks and is a historic town which no longer exists. It changed its name, but the named places were not in the same location. Hilo and Heth Walls Township were the other names. A post office called Silverton was established in 1890 and discontinued around 1833. If you were to visit the town site you would travel along County Road 317 on Spring Creek 1.7 miles NNE of Wasola and 1.9 miles west of the Hilo Cemetery along Route N on Hilo Ridge. It is the Hilo cemetery where Frances might be buried as an educated guess. This is because newspaper article said Silverton Cemetery, with name changed to Hilo it stands to reason Hilo cemetery is the same cemetery.

*Edit from Mansfield to Marshfield The information on Frances shows 1860 Census that post office is Mansfield. I believe that should read Marshfield not Mansfield. Marshfield is the county seat of Webster County where they lived. Frances was my great aunt. Contributor: Sue Ikerd and verified by 1860 census lookup.
