Hoopeston Evening Times 3-June 1925 - Grim Reaper Claims Pioneer of Vermilion County this morning. Colorful Career of Worthy Citizen Terminates with Acute Attack of Chronic Illness - Immediate Family at Bedside.
Hon. CHAS A. ALLEN 73, died in his home, 859 East Washington St., here at 9:55 this morning.  Death followed closely a severe attack by chronic ailments with ? Which the deceased had been intermittently affected for many years.  Members of his immediate family, not unexpectedly hastily summoned, were with him during the lapsing hours of life. As life took its passage a few minutes before 10 o’clock this morning from the body of Hon. Charles A. Allen, the final chapter was recorded in a route which destiny had directed should mark the career of a man who called, and made Hoopeston, his home.  No great heights of national fame had been his �?but a sphere of domination in civic and political life had extended itself perforce the power of a brain which directed its experience and talents until all Illinois and even the people of other states full well realize its momentum.  He made his mark in the world and had gone on to face the great Beckoner of earthly achievement.
LEGINLATOR 34 YEARS - “Charlie�?Allen—Judge Allen�?a practicing attorney throughout, his natural life and during the 34 years he served as an assemblyman, in the Illinois legislature and during which time he gained renown as author of the famous “Allen bill�?which related to Chicago’s traction system-carried in his appearance and genial mannerisms that spirit of friendliness for which he was noted whatever travels directed him, even to a few days before illness compelled him to take to his bed for the last time. Police Magistrate - This man who answered the final call of the Grim Reaper today, while since 1908 out of the state legislature in which he had served contentiously since 1891, was actively engaged in the pursuit of his profession as an attorney. Death overtook him as he served as Hoopeston's police magistrate in the Wildon building. Elected in 1922 he had another year to serve. Public expression opines he served the people of his community well-in his official capacity as well as in private and commercial life....submitted by Prudy
