DANIEL ALLARD
Daniel Allard was born in Morgan county, Ohio, in the year 1821, removed to Henry county, Illinois in 1850, where he resided until 1875, when he settled near Lawndale, in this county, where he lived on one of the best improved and highly cultivated farms in the county, until his death.
In the year 1847 he joined the Christian Church...a temperance man, ...on the slavery question, he was a strong abolitionist and friend of the slave, when to be such was almost ostracism.
The deceased was twice married. By the first wife he had ten children, and by the second, who survives him, one. Mrs. Allard, the surviving wife, is spoken of in the highest terms, as a wife and mother by her step-children, who seem to revere her as a true mother. This lady has in a short time lost by death father and sister, and with the exception of her child, is by the death of her husband left alone so far as blood relatives are concerned.
The deceased was sick some six weeks and suffered intensely.
