It was great to get the birth info on Sarah confirming "Anthony" Allen as the father. I too have searched indexes etc. for marriage of Anthony and Alice, as well as his death. Strange not to appear.His occupation was listed as "engineer". I assume it was railroad type,but can't assume so. Maybe he was killed in another county or state with the railroad. Anthony and Alice had another daughter b. 12 july 1887 in Portage Co. named Helen Antoinette. Thanks again for checking the records in person also. I appreciate your efforts and kind assistance.
