Fifth Generation
89. Izora M Houston (Mary "Polly" Montgomery-4, Sarah Callin-3, James "2nd"-2, James "1st"-1) was born on 29 October 1869 in Blooming Grove, Richland County, Ohio, and grew up on her family's farm in Butler Township.
Izora married Allen Deloss Sheets (1868–1943) on 25 November 1890. He was the son of David Sheets (1819–1874) and Sarah A Nixon (1832–abt. 1915), born on 12 July 1868 in Fulton County, Indiana. Allen's father died when he was small, and Allen grew up in the home of his mother and step-father, Isaac Good, whom Sarah married in 1875.
Allen ran a farm and later worked as a salesman in an agriculture business. The couple raised their son in Rochester before moving to Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana, where they appeared on the 1920 U.S. Census. Allen died on 13 May 1943 in Elkhart County and Izora followed soon after on 1 April 1944. They are buried in the Violett Cemetery in Goshen.
Allen Deloss Sheets and Izora M Houston had the following child:
