C. L. Allen passed away on Wednesday forenoon, mainly of old age and general collapse. He has been gradually failing for two or three years and had softening of the brain but he was so as to be around town until a very few days before his death. He was a man respected and esteemed by all who knew him during his active life among us, and was a consistent member of the Congregational church. We believe his age was about 75 years. He leaves a wife and one son, James V. Allen, of Cedar Rapids.
