THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association, Volume 37 December 2001 Number 3; submitted with permission from editor, Grayden D. Slowins
William R. (Bill) Allen, 53, husband of Ruth Ann Allen, father of Michael W. 
Allen and Billie Joe Allen-Miller, brother of James Allen and Barbara Kruis, 
son of Alona J. (Desgranges) & Roger A. Allen, son of Laura (Lane) & William 
Allen, son of Clare E. Allen, son of Clara & George Allen, who settled on 
Portland Road in Berlin Township before 1891.  Bill Allen was a farmer, barn & 
house painter, and tree trimmer.  He painted our farm buildings and Sebewa Town 
Hall several times, and we continue to get compliments, especially for 
the "Painted Lady" trim job he did on our Victorian home.  He was an active 
member of the Ionia Corners Fox Club, which has been ridding the area of 
coyotes in recent years.  After his funeral, fifteen combines and numerous 
semis harvested his 400 acres of corn and soybeans in less than four hours.  
Many tears were shed as it was said that Bill would have been the first in the 
field for anyone else.
