Allyn Boardman LAMPORT

                   He was named for Allyn Boardman who was married to his aunt Pheobe. He grew to manhood in Perry, OH and helped his father in the labor of clearing the farm. Soon after the breaking up on the family, he entered into partnership with Chauncey. They worked a farm together in Leroy township and then went to Richland County, and finally to St. Joseph County, IN, where they dissolved the partnership in the springof 1847. Here he bought a farm of 80 acres 6 miles SE of Mishawaka, IN, on which he remained for over 20 years. It joined Ansel's farm on teh East andwas only 2 miles from Chauncey's, farther West. Here he accumulated enough of this world's goods to carry him comfortable through life. In 1873 he sold his farm and moved to Mishawaka, where his wife died in 1882. After the death of his second wife (1886) he sold his home and moved to Benton Harbor, MI, where his brother Martin was. The writer stated: "Allyn's life was an honorable and fairly prosperous one. He saw much sorrow in his later years, but he was a faithful Christian, and a life long member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was for many years a Sunday School superintendent in country and in town. My earliest recollections of him are as superintendent of the school at Lamarook neighborhood, wherewe lived in the "Sixtus" South Mishawaka. He was the last of his father's largefamily, from the birth of Electa in 1800, to his death in 1899, just spanning the 19th century. "
