Death of Chas. A. Allen.
Died—In this city Friday, July 26, 1889, at 12:10 o’clock, Chas. A. Allen, aged 34 years, 9 months and 14 days.
The funeral took place Sunday at 10 a. m. under the auspices of Galena lodge, No. 195, I. O. O. F. and was one of the largest that has ever occurred in our city. The A. O. U. W., which order deceased was a member attended in a body. The deceased had been ill for about 7 months when death relieved him of his suffering.
He leaves a wife and several children, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in this hour of sorrow.

Two Thousand Dollars.
What greater argument in favor of the A. O. U. W. can be offered than this: Chas. A. Allen was laid to rest on Sunday. The Sunday following just one week from the date of interment, a draft for $2,000 was placed in the hands of his wife. Mr. Allen had been a member of the order less than a year. His initiation fee, dues and assessments amounted to less than twenty dollars. For the investment of this small amount his wife and little ones who would have otherwise been left unprovided for, have two thousand dollars and are not left to the cold charity of a heedless, heartless world. Who can excuse a man for failure to provide for his family in the face of such evidence as this.
