Allen is responsible for starting a store near the Makepeace grist mill in the late 1820s, platting Chesterfield in 1830, and building in 1834 the second brick house in the township. Allen Makepeace was a highly successful businessman, so much so that when he died in 1871, he was the wealthiest man in the county, estimated at over a quarter of a million dollars (back then!). As befitting their financial station in life, Allen and wife Nancy have at the Otterbein the largest memorial. The plot is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence with gate, added Victorian luxuries.
