The Nebraska Signal - Jul. 27, 1922
Death of C. S. Allen.
Charles S. Allen was born at Paris, Oneida Co., N.Y., August 5, 1841, and passed away at his home in Geneva, Neb., at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, July 23, 1922, at the age of 80 years, 11 months and 18 days.
Mr. Allen enlisted in the Civil war in Company G, 117th New York volunteers and served three years or until the close of the war. Tomorrow will be the sixtieth anniversary of the date of his enlistment.
In 1866 he was married to Caroline Eliza Rider at Clayville, N.Y., where they resided for about a year, going from there to Missouri and a little later to Illinois.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen came to Nebraska in the spring of 1871 and homesteaded four and one-half miles from Grafton. They removed from the farm to Geneva in the spring of 1900. Seven children were born to them, one dying in infancy while the family resided in Missouri and one while in Grafton. Five grew to maturity, the son Will being the first one to pass from the family circle. Seven years ago a daughter, Mrs. Alta Singleton was called. Five years ago the wife and mother passed on, and two years ago the son Ernest. The surviving children are Miss Adeline J. Allen of Geneva and Mrs. Edith M. Irish of Toronto, Canada.
Mr. Allen joined the Congregational church in young manhood and exemplified his Christian principles in his every day life, always being willing and ready to assist in times of sickness or trouble. His thoughtfulness of others was one of the chief characteristics of his life.
Mr. Allen was a member of Wilson Post, G.A.R. and has always been an active and energetic worker in all community affairs. He was prominent in the organization over a year ago of the Fifty-year pioneer club and was its vice president at the time of his death.
The funeral service was conducted at the home at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by Rev. E.J. Pontius of Geneva. The burial was in the family resting place in the Geneva cemetery.
Among the relatives present at the funeral were Mrs. Edith Irish and little daughter of Toronto, Canada, Mrs. Frances Allen of Tulsa, Okla., Samuel Rider of Kansas City, Mrs. Maurine Kahler of Omaha and Mrs. Susan Weber of Alma Colorado.
