Obe T. Allen is widely known among the citizens of Talihina as a cattle grower and dealer, and has passed the years of his business life in what is now Le Flore county. He is a native of Fort Worth, Texas, born July 23, 1870, a son of Alexander Allen. Mr. Allen's education was obtained in the rural schools of his home neighborhood, but his real training for the business of life was received on the broad plains of Texas. While still a young boy he became an expert horseman and handler of cattle, and at the age of seventeen he was engaged in business for himself. In 1890, then only twenty years of age, he located in Le Flore county as a stockman, and since that time has made steady progress in that business. While not counted as among the most extensive stock men of the locality, he handles from twelve to fifteen hundred cattle annually, shipping to the various markets of the north and east. He is an active member of the Texas Live Stock Association.
Mr. Allen has been twice married, first to Miss Alice Lovelace, who died on October 20, 1893. In 1896 he married Mrs. Dora Veulemans, a daughter of H. S. Allen and the children of this second union are: Thelma. Naomi, Gladys, Fay and Jay Allen. Mr. Allen now occupies a comfortable and modern home in Talihina, is an active member of the Woodmen of the World, and in politics is a Democrat.
