§ 1923- SUSAN EMMA CARPENTER, 8 (Nancy Oatley, 7; lVIary Hazard, 6; Stephen, 5; Thomas, 4; Stephen, 3 ; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born June 4, I829 ; she married, May 18, 1849, Richard N. Allen. Mr. Allen was born in 1827, and began his search for fortune when about eighteen, in a subordinate po- sition on a railroad. After several smaller inventions, one of which was a car— wheel oil—box, now in practical use, he, after many years of study and experi— ments, perfected the paper car—wheel, with a steel tire. When he made his first set of wheels, in I 869, it was with difficulty that he got the use of a wood—car for six months to test his invention. The Pullman Palace Car Company gave him his first order, in 1871, and a few months later the Allen Car Wheel Company made seventeen thousand such wheels in one year. Almost the last act of Mr.

Allen’s life was to sign the papers applying for a patent for a noiseless wheel on electric motors, which is the last in a series of notable inventions which have

made the railroads and traveling public indebted to him for safety and comfort. He was the first to invent the steel tire for the car—wheel, and spent several years in Krupp’s works in Germany perfecting the model. He had recently devoted himself to improving paper wheels for street—car service, and had a patent on a model, recently introduced, in use, beside the invention completed before his death. In personal appearance Mr. Allen was singularly like James A. Garfield, late President of the United States. He died suddenly, in Cleveland, Ohio, Oétober 7th, 1892.
