The Daily Northwestern Oshkosh, WI Sat 11 Oct 1930, page one:
Mrs. Natalia W. Allen, widow of Gen. Thomas Scott Allen, distinguished veteran of the civil war, who was part owner and publisher of The Daily Northwestern from 1870 to 1884, passed away quietly at her home, 246 Jackson drive, at noon today.
Mrs. Allen's death followed an extended illness. General debility, incident to old age, caused her illness. She had attained the age of 87 years. She had resided in this city since 1870, the year she and her husband came here from Madison.
Mrs. Allen was born at Canton, OH, July 16, 1843. She went with her family to Mineral Point, WI when a child, and was married there, April 19, 1866, to Mr. Allen, who had entered the civil war as a private in the Union forces. He was breveted a brigadier general, because of his gallantry under fire, before the conclusion of the conflict.
For 14 years after their arrival in Oshkosh, General Allen, as a partner of the late Col. John Hicks, under the firm name, Allen & Hicks, published The Daily Northwestern. Later he became one of the owners of The Telegraph, a local German newspaper. He preceded Mrs. Allen in death in 1905.
Mrs. Allen was of a home-loving nature, and she had spent the last years of her life in retirement. She was named mother of the General Thomas Scott Allen fortress of the National Daughters of the Grand Army of the Republic, an honorary distinction, and was affiliated with Trinity Episcopal church, the Twentieth Century club, and Clio class, a women's literary study group.
Her survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Homer H. (Mary E.) Bishop and Mrs. J. W. West, both of Oshkosh; two sons, Col. Henry A. Allen, Chicago, and Edward W. Allen, a Seattle, WA attorney, two granddaughters, Mrs. Richard Slaker, of Chicago, Miss Jane Allen, of Seattle; a grandson, Thomas Allen, Seattle, and a great-granddaughter, Joan Slaker, of Chicago.
Arrangements for the funeral are being held in abeyance, pending advice from two sons. Both of them are expected to come here for the rites.
