Sidney Allen was born October 27, 1941 to Orven and Emelie (Godlevsky) Sanden. He grew up and attended country school in Dickinson until moving to Wisconsin. He graduated from Milton high school before joining the Marine Corps on a buddy system with three friends. He was stationed in California when he met and married Judy Cahill. To this union Mike and Jeff were born. Sidney moved to Glen Ullin in 1974 where he met Betty Jane Beierlein. The couple were married October 10, 1975 at St. Johns Church in Hebron.
Sid enjoyed anything to do with cars, the Greenbay Packers, his cat cuddles, spending time with his family and his country. He was a proud member of the American Legion. After a long three years, Sid and Betty are finally reunited.
