OAKLAND, July 29.— Peter C. Allen, husband of Florence Sharon Allen, and once a musician and composer of note in this city, died suddenly today at East Aurora, N. Y. Young Allen had been ill for a short time, having contracted a severe cold that was followed by organic troubles. His death was unexpected.
The marriage four years ago of the brilliant young musician to Florence Sharon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Sharon, at their Piedmont villa, was an event of the season in a society way. The young couple traveled after the wedding. A year ago Mr. and Mrs. Allen went to New York, where the young man was engaged in professional work. He possessed considerable creative ability in his art.
The Allens had intended to return to Oakland next month on a visit. Mrs. Allen was with her husband at his death. She will come home after the funeral, which will be held at East Aurora. The body will be cremated.
Before his marriage, Allen was leader of St. Paul's Episcopal Church choir. One child, Frances, survives. She is with her grandparents at Piedmont. Allen was 36 years old, a native of California. His mother, Mrs. F. A. Allen, resides at College Park. Robert Allen, a brother, is at Kings City. Chetwood Allen, a brother, is a student at Stanford University.
