He was born November 3, 1889 on a farm south of Gladbrook, the son of Greenleaf P. and Melissa Taylor Allard, early settlers of Spring Creek township. His entire life was spent in and around Gladbrook. He attended the rural school and Gladbrook high school, after which he worked for a time in the creamery, then for the Iowa Light and Power company for five years.
