S. C. ALLEN DIES VERY SUDDENLY
A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN HE HAD LIVED IN HAWAII FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY.
Samuel C. Allen, merchant, ship-owner, railroad president and large owner of plantation interests, died suddenly shortly after 9 o'clock last evening at his residence on Richards street of an affection of the heart.
He was about his business as usual yesterday, had taken a drive in the afternoon as was his daily custom, and had dined. About 9 o'clock he was taken with a sudden illness, and Dr. George Augur was summoned. When Dr. Augur arrived, he found Mr. Allen pacing the floor. Within fifteen minutes he was dead. Dr. Augur gave the cause of death as heart failure.
Samuel Clesson Allen was a cousin of Col. W. F. Allen. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Frederick H. Allen, and he was born in New Salem, Massachusetts, May 17, 1831, so that he lacked but four days of being seventy-two years of age. When he was quite young he removed with his parents to Bangor, Maine, where he was brought up, later attending Abbott Family School at Farmington, Maine. While still a youth, he entered the employ of the wholesale dry goods house of Wilkinson, Stetson & Co., Milk Street, Boston, and in 1850 sailed on the American ship Lo Choo for Hawaii, where his uncle was the American consul.
He arrived in Hawaii in December, 1850, and shortly afterwards engaged with W. A. Aldrich in general merchandizing. At various times his firm has been Allen & Co., Aldrich, Walker & Co., Walker, Allen & Co., and for a number of years now Allen & Robinson.
Mr. Allen bore his share in the early development of the sugar industry, was largely engaged in shipping, and owned a large amount of stock in the Oahu Railway & Land Company of which he was president when he died, and of which he had been one of the early friends. He had been a member of the Chamber of Commerce for a number of years. He was an important factor in the commercial and industrial life of the territory.
In 1865 he married Miss Robinson, a daughter of the late James Robinson, a sister of Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Jaeger, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. McWayne and Mark P. Robinson.
His only blood relative in the islands is Col. W. F. Allen. The funeral will be held from the late residence on Friday afternoon.
