Charles E. Allen
1888 - 1947
A verdict of accidental death in the passing of Charles E. Allen 46 Rexford [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] was given Wednesday morning by Dr. M.G. Boname of Oxford, Chenango county coroner. News of his death was learned with genuine shock by his neighbors, associates and other friends. His tragic passing was discovered by a brother, Howard E. Allen of 38 Henry when the latter stopped at the Allen family residence on Rexford street Wednesday morning shortly before 8 o'clock. The late Mr. Allen had been suffering from an abscessed tooth, family members said. He had left his bedroom and gone to the kitchen where he had lighted a gas range. His body was found in a rocker, clothed in night attire with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders. After making himself comfortable, apparently he had fallen asleep in the chair. Family members said he frequently sat in the kitchen, warming the small room from the range. The kitchen door was closed. Police Captain Harold Mattice who with Officer Frank Favalaro investigated the case said it is probable that the absence of oxygen in the air caused the gas flame to be extinguished. Escaping gas fumes filled the small kitchen result in death by asphyxiation. Dr. E.F. Gibbon was summoned by Mr. Allen's brother. Members of the fire department emergency squad responded to a call. In the squad were Henry and Burton Tiffany. Norman and Maurice Weeks and Darwin Bates. Use of the resuscitator was without avail. Coroner Dr. Boname who gave the verdict of accidental death said that the passing of Mr. Allen had not been long before discovery was made. His body was removed to the Breese Funeral Home. Mr. Allen was a native of Norwich. He was born October 3, 1888, a son of the late Dr. and Mrs. Eugene J. Allen. His mother, Mrs. Fannie A. Allen died December 24, last.

His interest in the store where he had long been employed, in Masonic affairs where he was a lodge member and his home community were paramount in his life.
