Biography:
ELWYN C. ALLEN, who at the time of his death in New York, February 8, 1905, was representing the Appleton Car-Mover Company, was for many years a well known business man in both Wisconsin and Michigan, and was also prominently identified with public matters. Born April 3, 1849, at Milan, Monroe county, Michigan, Mr. Allen was a son of Herman and Laura F. (Shelley) Allen, the former a farmer of Richmond, Vermont, who moved to Michigan at an early date. After securing a preliminary education in the public schools, Mr. Allen attended the Normal school at Ypsilanti, after which he read law and was admitted to the bar at Grand Rapids. He eventually entered the furniture business there, and was secretary and treasurer of the Kent Furniture Manufacturing Company for a long period. From Grand Rapids he removed to Eagle River, Wisconsin, where he was engaged in the lumber and shingle business until 1893, and during two years of his stay there served as judge of probate. He later became connected with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, with which he continued four or five years, and in 1895 came to Appleton, buying a half-interest in the Appleton Car-Mover Company. It was while in New York in the interests of this large concern, that Mr. Allen met his death in a railroad accident. He was a versatile business man, being able to recognize the business possibilities and opportunities in whatever line he was interested in, and he was successful in all of his ventures. Fraternally he was connected with the Masons, and he also held membership in the Commercial Travelers Association, and was a member of the Baptist Church. On January 19, 1881, Mr. Allen was united in marriage with Lillian H. Steiner, daughter of George H. Steiner and Jane Elizabeth Steiner, the former a native of Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Hollidaysburg, that state. Mr. Steiner was a merchant by occupation. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Allen, as follows: Margaretta B., who married William H. Bray, a resident of Little Rock, Arkansas, and has three children; and Chester H. and Dorothea, who are living with their mother.
