The Allen Family Tragedy
In this project, Amanda Iroler interviewed four members of her family of various ages to find out what they knew of the famous Allen Family tragedy and the Carrol County Courthouse shooting. One of her interviewees, her grandmother Alease Iroler, is the great-grandaughter to Jack Allen, who was later killed in an altercation about the courthouse shooting. One of the interesting things Ms. Iroler noticed while doing this project, is that the younger the person being interviewed, the less they knew about the event and the more different their accounting of it became. In the end, she presumed that the story of the tragedy will not die out, but it will change over time.
