H.H. Allen I recently received an email inquiring about one H.H. Allen who resided in Davis, OK. I received this information from the Arbuckle Historical Society in Davis. 1. In 1898 the town of Davis was incorporated with H. H. Allen the mayor, L. M. Frame the clerk, Sam Davis the treasurer and T. W. Poole as city marshal. 2. An article in the Davis News dated April 1901 stated that H.H. Allen returned from Dallas where he attended a reunion of Confederate soldiers. There was a "fraternal group" in Davis called the Joe Shelby Camp that consisted of 15 former CSA soldiers who also attended the reunion. The notice of the reunion was signed by H.H. Allen, Commander, Joe Shelby Camp. So evidently Allen was a Confederate veteran. 3. The Davis News reported in 1908 that Wm. H. Murray of the lower house of the legislature had appointed H.H. Allen of Davis as the captain of a group known as the Chickasaw Squirrel Rifles who were champions of the Constitution with the rank of Colonel. 4. The Sulphur News-Democrat reported in 1909 that in an interview of H.H. Allen, at the Scullin train depot, that he had visited the "Buffalo Suck" at what would become Platt National Park in 1848 or 1849. Allen who was 79 in 1909 would have been born in 1830 and this would have made him about 18 or 19 when he came here well before the civil war. Allen commented that he saw buffalo in the area that became Sulphur in uncountable numbers and these wooly creatures would roll in the spring water and coat themselves with mud to protect themselves from the insects. Allen also stated that there were large herds of wild turkey, deer and antelope in the area that became Murray County. Hope this helps those researching H.H. Allen.
