Dougal H. Allen

Dougal H. Allen was born in Hull, Canada, the son of Lemuel and Margaret
(McMillan) Allen. His father, a farmer, was born in Canada, and died in Iowa,
June 12, 1904; his ancestry was English on the paternal side and Scotch on the
maternal side of the family. His mother, whose ancestry was Scotch, was born in
Canada and died April 9, 1920.

Mr. Allen’s parents were true pioneers of Iowa where they settled in 1871, and
endured the same privations and difficult situations that pioneer Nebraskans
met. He moved to Nebraska in 1907 with his wife and children and since then has
been a rancher and farmer in Holt County where he has assisted in civic and
religious affairs for a number of years. He is affiliated with the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Emmett, Nebraska, is a member of The Nebraskana Society, and
for the past 10 years has served as district president of the Northwestern
Church District. During the World War he was active locally in loan drives.

His marriage to Mary Emeline McMillan occurred at Colorado Springs, Colorado,
May 4, 1898. Mrs. Allen, who was born in Washington County, Nebraska, December
16, 1870, is the daughter of Daniel and Achsah (Stamford) McMillan. Her father
moved from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, to Nebraska in the fall of 1867 and with
three other men homesteaded on the site of what is now the town of Herman,
Nebraska.

Daniel McMillan, one of the builders of the middle-west, engaged in ranching and
farming throughout the period of years he resided in Nebraska. He was married at
Blair, then a hamlet of half a dozen buildings, October 29, 1869.

Mr. Allen and his wife have always been associated with progressive and
constructive movements in their community. They have two children: Mollie
Bernice, born August 18, 1899, who married George P. Hollo-peter; and Robert
Russell, born September 21, 1905, who married Bessie Beebe. Robert is a rancher
in Holt County. Residence: Emmett.
