I typed this as it was printed, typo's included. The obit neglects to mention that a daughter Wylene, passed away in 1958, a son in 1945 and several grandchildren from the 1960s
Note: Oldest son and 2nd youngest son living.
Wylene Allen passed away in Michigan in 1958
Wylene married a Riviera....although I am not sure that is the correct spelling, have not been able to find ANY records here for her or Alvin Allen
Alvin Roger Allen passed away in Michigan in 1988* date approx. I was trying to call Uncle Alvin and got his son, literally by picking up a name out of the phonebook, talk about 1 in a million..as I went by initials, and didn't know exactly where Alvin lived in Michigan. I called the night Wendall was hit by a car and killed instantly in SC
