One of Abel and Jane (Holt) Allen’s sons became a doctor and lived in Parishville, NY. In 1870, he was 13 and still living in Stockholm with his parents. I am having a hard time finding him in 1880 census records because there are several Alfred Allens and I have no way to distinguish them. In 1900, he lived in Parishville with his wife Minnie and her parents. They had been married 12 years and had no children. (According to the newspaper, they were actually married in 1884.) My search in NYhistoricnewspapers.org. is intriguing.

This one, I don’t really understand:

Jane Allen was still alive in February 1891.
but she died a short time later:

And here is Hattie Seaver, niece of Alfred and Amos Allen; which person is the mother of Hattie? The Ogdensburg journal., January 23, 1894

There are many notes through the 1880’s and ’90s about Dr Allen being called for various ailments,including diphtheria, broken bones, lumber accidents and sick children. Finally, I found this one, a little more personal, about the doctor’s summer home.
