Does anyone know what happened to all the Cliftons who used to live in Allen. there used to be one called Mate, one named Bob, Ray, Johnny P and his wife Helen. Came bact to visit , and couldn't find anyone, someone said they all passed away.They were the life of the town.

Most of them still live in Allen. Mate,did die,a long while back,his real name was Ray. Johnny P. moved away,his 2 son's live in Mate's old house over across the tracks on the right after you pass the old Allen School. Helen got married a long time ago to a man that goes by the name of Big Dollar,they live over in Gas Fork.She just had a nephew pass away yesterday.Never did know Bob...

Thanks friends. I heard Mate has passed, was not sure tho. Liked that man. When sober, he was OK. What ever happened to his wife and children, I heard they split up. Are they still around?.
Went thru Allen and Martin couple weeks ago, and it depressed me ,Not the same anymore, used to be so much life there. It almost seemed to be like a goast town.Guess I thought i'd see all the old gang hanging out in front of Bennies place. I know he and Grechen passed, what about Bennie Lynwood and his wife[ cant remember her name.
Thanks for the info, guess I'm a little homesick.
