  Charles Hunter Allen was born in DuBois, May 25, 1880. He lost his father in 
  his early childhood. He was adopted by his mother's sister and husband, Mr.

  practically continually in Brockway since childhood.

  Albert and Ethel, who reside in West Virginia.
     
  A little son, Robert, died in 1913, at the age of two years.
     
  Mr. Allen was a member of the M. E. church at this place and also the B. R. T.
