From Story County Watchman November 28, 1902

DIED:--Yesterday morning Chas. Allen was found dead in his bed at the Poor Farm and at once cared for. He was for many years one of the characters of the town having lived here since a child. For some years he has been an inmate of the poor house and the end comes as a relief to him. His age was about 57 years. The funeral will be held to day at the Methodist church and remains laid to rest in the Nevada cemetery. All who have been in the habit of visiting Nevada for the past score of years will remember him.
