NOTES FOR WILLIAM ANTON ALLAR
William Anton Allar was born in Keokuk County, Iowa, September 24, 1891. He was the oldest of six children born to Anton Allar and Mary Ann Klett Allar. William grew up on the family’s 200 acre farm south of Bethel corners and along the Skunk River. When a youth he helped his father farm the bottom land along the river and told of following the harrow to keep it clean from snakes that would become entangled in it.
He attended a country school for eight years and when 24 years of age he married Matilda Catherine Vogel on May 4, 1915 at the St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Clear Creek Township, Keokuk County, Iowa. The couple took up farming about 2 ½ miles south of Bethel Corners just east of Sigourney, Iowa.
The family was devout Catholics and William would drive Matlida to church every Sunday in a horse and buggy and later in a horseless carriage. Five children were born to William and Matilda; Ernest Joseph in 1916, Herbert Joseph in 1918, Dorothy Marie in 1921, Charles William in 1924 and Mary Cecelia in 1928.
The couple farmed until 1946 when they moved to 326 West Jackson Street in Sigourney, Iowa. Herbert stayed on the family farm and married Bernice Ogden in 1946. Mike Allar remembers, "Grandpa would often go the farm and help out Herbert with the work and he frequently would take my brother Tom and myself along to help with the chores like feeding and watering the chickens and hoeing weeds in the corn field.”
On another occasion Mike tells of “Grandpa, my two sisters, Joyce and Carolyn, and myself were on our way to visit his daughter, Mary and her husband Keith Linnenkamp, in grandpa’s old Studebaker. It was spring and it had been raining for several days. Their farm was located off a dirt road which was now mud and sure enough we got the car stuck in the mud. We all had to take off our shoes and socks and wade a half mile through the mud to the farmhouse. Aunt Mary then provided us with a wash tub to clean our legs and feet so we could put our shoes and socks back on while Grandpa and Keith went to pull out the car with the tractor.”
The family had a very large garden at the Jackson Street home with one entire fence line covered with grapes. Mike Allar remembers, “One day by brother Tom and I were out at our grandparent’s house in Sigourney when grandpa was digging in the garden. He finished digging and started cleaning and oiling the shovel; grandpa always took good care of his tools. When he finished he pulled out a plug of chewing tobacco and cut off a piece and popped it into his mouth. He then looked at Tom and me and asked us if we wanted a chew. We both declined.”
The boys ate many meals at their grandparents house, usually at the kitchen table. When peas were served Mike remembers, “Grandpa would eat his with a knife, balancing them on the flat edge and rolling them into his mouth. He would also pour his coffee in the saucer and blow on it and drink it from the saucer.” Jim Strieck recalls that there was always a jar of jelly on the kitchen table and his grandmother always seemed to have an apron on.
When Dorothy and her family visited from Bettendorf, Iowa, there was usually a big Sunday dinner with fried chicken, raisin stuffing and carrot salad. Dick Strieck recalls that “Grandma would have a big pot of lard, which she would use to cook with and when they visited she would always make a big breakfast.” Jim recalls his Uncle Billy helping out by going to the root cellar and getting the vegetables. Other times he remembers Grandpa sitting in the rocking chair listening to the radio. Dick reports that he owns the smoking table that sat by that rocking chair. Most likely Wendell Allar made the table as Dick was told that his Grandfather had shown a picture of the table in a Sears catalog and the table was made for him. Dorothy would bring him a carton of “Pall Mall” cigarettes when the family came visiting. Dick also remembers that on Saturday when they visited his Grandpa would put on his “dress overalls” the ones with the stripes on them. They would then go to the town square in Sigourney and mingle with the rest of the county. When they would visit the Strieck boys would stay out on the farm east of farm with Herbert and his wife. All the kids recall that Grandpa usually had a dime so they could go across the street to the Sinclair Station and get a bottle of pop. Grandpa always had a piece of Juicy Fruit gum in his overalls pocket for his grandkids.
When asked about his politics he would say, “Never trust the Rooshians.”
William Anton Allar died at the age of 84 at Manor House Nursing Home in Sigourney, Iowa. William and Matilda are buried in the St. Elizabeth Cemetery at Harper, Iowa.
