Haven't been able to locate this family of Allens:

John Lovic Allen born Feb. 1878 Lavaca Coo., Texas; wife Anna May Wilson b. Aug. 1880, Texas; daughter Lina M. b. 1899; daughter Stella Maud b. ca 1902; son Jesse b. ca 1908; son Alex L. born ca 1911. They, except Lina, are in Jeff Davis County in 1920 census. "J.L. Allen" is listed as managing a grocery store. Couple is on 1900 census, Wilson Co., Texas in household of Aaron Wilson in 1900 and are in Wilson Co. still in 1910 as Lovic J. Allen household. This implies they married in Wilson Co., Texas around 1898/99. Son Alex L. shows up in household of aunt Myrtle Allen Fauver and husband Geo. F. Fauver (indexed as Fanner) in San Antonio, Bexar Co., in 1930 census. Alex is listed as a 19 year old bellboy. John L. Allen is son of James Monroe Allen and S. C. "Kate" Rhode also in his household in 1920 in Jeff Davis Co. I would like to know of any whereabouts after 1930. Many Thanks.

John Lovic Allen was my Great Grandfather. He was my Grandmother's Father. According to my Mother, he left his family somewhere around 1925-1930 and never came home. We do not know if he met with an accident or some other ill fate. My Great Grandmother moved in with my Grandparents Lima Mae Allen Buerger, and Harry B. Buerger. I would also like to know what happened to John Lovic
