Nov 28, 1825 and moved to Montgomery County with her parents Andrew and M. M. Allen in 1839. Joined the Baptist Church of Old Liberty in 1845. Was married to G. B. Cantey Nov 12, 1846. She died as she had lived, a consistent member of the Baptist Church at Mt. Lebanon Mar 23, 1860. 34 years 3 months 23 days. If upright worth and virtue claim a tear reader tis due to her who sleepeth here. Grateful, affectionate, sincere and kind. Her memories dear to those she's left behind. *engraved on marker of William Albert Broadway: We love you, Albert. Gentle, Kind and Strong. With the Lord now. Live on in our hearts forever.
