Allen was one of at least six children born to Daniel Peachlyn/Peachland "Dan" Lincecum (1904-1990) and Noda Belle Nugent (1910-1998). His siblings include Dan P. Jr. (1927-1984), Madge Elaine (1933-2015), and Mildred Faye (1943-1998).
At about age 20, Allen married 17-year-old Wanda Glee Davis (d. 2023). She was a daughter of Amos Davis and Helen Duncan. Wanda's sister, Marie, married Perry O. Lincecum (1925-1979), first cousin to Allen.
Allen and Wanda would have at least five children together before they presumably divorced. One was a son, Dennis Allen Lincecum (1951-2007).
Allen spent the bulk of his life residing in Grant Parish, Louisiana. More specific place names include Selma, Georgetown, and Pollock. Although I found his surname spelled as Lincicum once, that was likely an anomaly. Especially given Grant Parish is home to Lincecum Cemetery, Lincecum Baptist Church, and Lincecum Village Road. 😉
Allen L. Lincecum died on 14 May 2015 at a hospital in Alexandria, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. He was laid to rest in Big Creek Cemetery at Pollock. A paragraph from his obituary in the 16 May 2015 Town Talk (Alexandria, Louisiana):
Allen proudly served his country in the United States Navy and during his working life was a Locomotive Engineer for Union Pacific Railroad for 35 years. He was a member of the Pentacostals of Alexandria for 21 years and was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and great great-grandfather who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Those whom we never cease to love we never lose.
