Slowins Earl J. (Sonnie) Allen, 73, husband of Johanna (Stockinger) Allen, whom he married in Vienna, Austria, in 1948, father of David Allen, brother of Donald & Charles Allen, and a half-sister, the late Daisy Parmenter, son of Earl J. Sr. & Reatha (Norwood) Allen, daughter of Chester & Pearl (Baldwin) Norwood, pioneer settlers in Portland Township. The Parmenter (Polmanteer, Palmater) family (Reatha's first marriage) were early settlers on Eaton Highway in Sebewa Township before 1875. The Earl Allen family lived in Sebewa Corners for a time in the 1950s & 1960s, but Sonnie grew up across the back fence from our farm in Portland, and we do not know if they are part of the pioneer Sebewa Allen families. Earl served in the US Army in World War II and Korea, then 30 years as a corrections officer at Michigan Reformatory.
