CLICK. ************************************************************************* ***************************************************** This child was not listed in the 1880 Census, but could have been born and died before that time, or could have been born and died before 1882. The child's father died sometime that year. When Lesley Allen, Elizabeth Catherine's first child with her second husband, William Henry Allen, was born, Elizabeth stated that he was her fourth child. The 1900 Census for Cape Girardeau County indicates that Elizabeth had given birth to 7 children and that 4 were still alive. ************************************************************************* ***************************************************** Elizabeth also married (2) William Henry ALLEN, son of Jacob ALLEN and Nancy NOLAND, on 24 Jul 1884 in Duck Creek Twp., Stoddard, MO.

F Valentine ALLEN. ************************************************************************* ***************************************************** The existence and placement of this child in the family has not been proved. But according to people still living in Stoddard County, Missouri, there was a child born between Vida and Ernest who died in infancy, and another child born to William Henry and Elizabeth Catherine who also died. One child was a boy and one was a girl. I found the boy, Lesley, so this should, but may not be the girl. And --- the memories of those in Stoddard County may be incorrect. Furthermore, the name of this child may be incorrect. ************************************************************************* ***************************************************** M Ernest Levi ALLEN Senior was born 4 Jul 1893 in Duck Creek Twp., Stoddard, Missouri. He died 19 Dec 1965 in St. Louis, , Missouri and was buried in Camp Butler Cem, Sangamon, Illinois.

I'm looking for the birth and death info for the third Click child, and the third Allen child. Burial info would also be appreciated. And if anyone knows where Mr. Click was buried and an exact death date, that would be great, too. Thanks in advance.
