About Major Allen G. Thurman

An Army Major, Allen was facing a forced retirement as a result of a polo injury a year before he shot and killed himself at Ft. Bliss, El Paso, Texas. His wife & 3 daughters were visiting family in Boston at the time.

Note: There was an Allen Thurman reported in the 1930 Census; that one was born in North Carolina. Names of wife (Dorothy) and a daughter match, so use caution in record after 1927.
