The Los Angeles Times of Feb.
4th tells of the death of Charles H.
Allen in that city on the evening of
the 1st inst. Charles was the only
son of the late John H. Allen and
was born in Princeton about 45 years
ago. He left Princeton when a boy
and resided with his parents at
Fergus Falls for a number of years;
later he engaged in the mercantile
business at Black Duck in Beltrami
county, and about five years ago
went to California. Only two members
of the family survive him, Mrs.
Nella Allen Bell of Los Angeles and
Mrs. L. J. Dobner of St. Paul. Mrs.
R. M. Neely and Mr. John W. Goulding
of this place are aunt and uncle
of the deceased. Many of the old
settlers of Princeton will kindly remember
Charley Allen as a lively,
good-natured boy, and he had a host
of friends in Fergus Falls and Beltrami
county who will regret to learn of his death.
The remains will be cremated and
the ashes brought to Princeton for
interment in the Oak Knoll cemetery
alongside those of his father,
mother and sister who have preceded
him to the other shore.
We quote from the paper above
mentioned:
"A trip to the desert proved a
long, tortuous ride to death for
Charles H. Allen, well-known club
and business man, who passed away
in the Pacific hospital late Sunday
night, after having been unconscious
many days. Allen, who made his
home at the Los Angeles Athletic
club, went to the Goachella valley
the first of the year for the benefit
of his health. January 16 he left
for the Carriso valley, an overland
trip of eighty-five miles, with his
friend, D. C. McLarty of Thermal,
who drove two teams to do assessment
work on lands located by himself
and several Los Angeles men.
A third man accompanied them.
" In the Carriso, Allen became ill
January 23, but declined an invitation
of the Los Angeles men to go with
them by automobile to Imperial that
he might be brought quickly to the city,
electing to ride back with McLaity, who
arranged a comfortable bed for him on a
hay rack. Within a few hours his condition
became serious and his sufferings
intense. Finally he lost consciousness
and in that condition was carried
sixty miles over the waste under a
burning sun. It was a terrible drive for
all concerned. On arrival at the McLarty
ranch physicians were called but could
not rally the patient. Last Friday it was
deemed best to bring him to the city,
but his life could not be saved.
"Allen, a man who handled extensive
investments and was rated wealthy,
was interested in the Coachella
valley, where he had helped many
ranch men financially at times
when help was needed most, and
there he leaves many friends, as well
as in this city and elsewhere.
