*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

 The 3rd child of Alex ALLAN and Mary McKINNON, Jack ALLAN was always going to be on the farm at Mardan South. He and his brother Richard had the task of milking the cows twice each day. The task of clearing and grassing the bracken fern on a recently acquired mortgage of 94 acres was allotted to these two as well. By the age of about 15 he finished school, and came to work with his father on the farm. Next June his father died, and by the end of the year, his younger brother joined him on the farm. Life was hard, especially during the great depression of the 1930's. There was tennis and football played on the ALLAN's property each week for several years, and there were always visitors for meals at the main house. Jack married Irma HOBSON in 1939, and brought up a family of 5. By 1952 Jack's health started to fail, and for the next 6 years he was hampered by illness.The working partnership with his brother Richard began to be dissolved, and in 1958, Jack ALLAN died and son Barrie ALLAN took his father's farm. A wall clock in the Mardan hall donated by the ALLAN family serves as a reminder of him. Of his other children - Geoffrey went to Florida and was married with 2 daughters, Wendy was a nurse and married with 3 sons, David a ceramic tile salesman in nearby Korumburra married and had one direct female issue, Janet married and had 2 sons.
