Thank you for supplying the opening date of the Church. It seems that the newspapers meant that the PHOTOGRAPH was at the opening ceremony, if not all of the pictured men. Clearly the part George Allen played in the existence of the church needed to be celebrated. Our family knowledge contains detail of how he offered financial support to several churches.
I hope to find George’s burial place. It is not in the usual family vaults and
I cannot now locate the computer-generated newspaper article since I have taken out a reading subscription.
