Allen N. PUCKETT

1833 - 1921  (88 years)

• Name	Allen N. PUCKETT
  Born	19 Feb 1833	Bell, Ohio
  Gender	Male
  Died	22 Aug 1921
  Buried	Indianola Cemetery
  Notes	His name is listed as Alleniah A. Puckett on his son Jon's death certificate. Grandpa Asa Wolfe wrote it down as Allenias on the family photo. I have also seen people writing it as Allen N or Allen Nias. On his homestead application in 1893, he wrote that he was 60 years old and wrote his name as Allen N Puckett. According to Ina Wolfe, Allen Puckett was ostracized by his family after he chose to not become a priest. According to Uncle John Wolfe,"I remember Dad (Asa Wolfe) telling about his granddad Puckett being a healer. He said he saw a man being carried into the Puckett parlor on a stretcher, and he walked out carrying the stretcher. He told severalother stories in the same frame but not so vivid. There were secret words to transfer the healing power, to the eldest son of the eldest son. Every other generation skipped. Dad was not eligible --not a Puckett. Do you (Ina Wolfe) remember stories of Dad relating to healing? H seemed reluctant to talk about such because we Moderns did not accept it. We rejected the wisdom of the ancients." In the 1860 census, Allen is living with his 52 year old mother. It looks like an older married brother is living next door and a Courtney family living two doors down in the next page of the census. On his homesteading application in 1893 he wrote his name as Allen N Puckett.
