Dear Shannon,
I went back and checked with my Aunt Today on your Friend s Carl.What I found about Our Carl is That he was my Grandfathers Brother,and That he was born in 1893,and had been Married but his Wife and Him had seperated or Divorced and That He had Contracted TB.
The Family Folklore was That he refused to go to a TB clinic,and used to carry a Can with him wherever he went on account of the TB,and would them Bury it next to the Barn,when he was Younger.We lsot Track of him Until he died,and Then his Body was brought to Iowa for burial and his Stone at the Harlan Cemetary reads Carl Allen Son of FW and Melissa Allen,1893-1920 (that puts his death near your 1922)
We do Not know what the Name of his wife is,or was.
Carl would have been a Grand Uncle to me,and would have had Brothers,Frank,Alvin,Alfred,and sisters Sarah,Saphronia,and maybe one more.
My Uncle Karl also had TB and he was Listed as Being Born in 1905,and dying in 1938,His wife was Isma Percy and They Had daughters Gayle,Jeanine anda Brother Carl "Toby" Allen.
Please E mail me Direct if you have anything on your friends Carl,and also check and see if she knows where her carl is buried.If she doesnt then I just may have Her Carl.
