They lived with Allen's Parents, and went back and forth from Virginia to Florida, until they moved to Okeechobee, Fl. , in 1937, to a new home, and business, which would become one of the largest canning industries in the Southeast.  Allen was active in community affairs and chairman of the War Bond Drives 1942-1945, for Okeechobee, County.   He later became the Legislative Representative, for Okeechobee County, and served at that post for many years.  Allen was Chairman of the Gulf Stream Council of The Boy Scouts of America, and awarded the Silver Beaver on two separate occasions.  Allen  was an avid hunter and fisherman, and excelled at the sport of Turkey Gobbler Hunting.  Allen died in 1995, and is buried at Timber Ridge Baptist Church Cemetery, in  Bedford, County, Virginia.
