1894.....25 Oct: DEATH OF LEWIS D. ALLEN.
Notable Career of This Well-Known
Missourian.
Lewis D. Allen, who died at his home, 4014
Westminster place,
Thursday, will be buried this afternoon. At the time of his death Mr.
Allen was secretary of the Kauffman Milling Company, which position
he
had held for some years. Mr. Allen left a widow and two children, both
of
whom have attained their majority. His son, Benjamin B. Allen, is
connected with the Laclede Bank. His daughter married a short time
ago,
and is now living at Carthage, Mo. One son, Lewis Allen, Jr., died
a
short while ago.
"Lew" Allen, as he was known to intimate acquaintances,
had quite a
notable career. He was a Missourian, and served through the late war
in
the Confederate Army with distinction. At one time he was wealthy.
This
was shortly after the war, when, after returning to St. Louis for a
short
time, he went South and started a private bank at Monroe, La. He was
successful at first, but later misfortune overtook
him, and a greater part of his fortune was sunk in the
enterprise. He came to St. Louis and entered the employ of the Kauffman
Milling Company as head bookkeeper. He was an expert accountant, and
was
soon appointed to the position he held at his death - that of secretary
of the firm. His employers regarded him as not only an energetic and
able
business man, but one who was entirely trustworthy. It had been said
of
Mr. Allen that he never made an enemy.
Mr. Allen was the subject of a poem which
attained
widespread popularity for its stirring war-time tenor and the sentiment
it
expressed. Mr Allen served under Colonel Price during the was and
attained the title of Captain. Part of the time he served as
Quartermaster. General Harding and Colonel Sneed were at times in command
over troops in which Mr. Allen served and it was these two who wrote
the
poem concerning "Lew" Allen. It was entitled "And Still Lew Allen Held
His Mule," and was printed far and wide, many papers illustrating it
at
the time. The incident occurred at Elk Horn, or, as the Yankees termed
it,
Pea Ridge. The scene of the battle was laid in a very hilly part of
the
country. During the heat of the battle General Harding started for
the
front accompanied by Mr. Allen on a mule. When they had drawn pretty
close to where the fighting was raging thickest General Harding
dismounted, and, turning his horse over to Mr. Allen, asked him to
remain
there with it until he returned, his intention being to go forward
on
foot. The fighting was hot and furious in that neighborhood at the
time,
but Allen stood there holding his mule with one hand, while he held
the
charger with the other. Presently a change in the direction of the
troops
brought the Yankee artillery down upon Allen. Shot were whizzing by
his
head in a steady stream, but he refused to "break ranks" and stood
there
not moving a muscle holding his mule and horse until ordered to where
General Harding was. The act was one of such conspicuous bravery that
it
suggested a poem to General Harding, and he, assisted by Colonel Sneed,
committed it to paper. Mr. Allen immediately became famous in every
part
of the country.

1916.....14 : VETERANS WEEP OVER REUNION.
Confederates Wounded in 1862 Believed Each Other Dead.
The unexpected meeting of two veterans, who
had not seen each other
since 1862, when they were both wounded in a charge at Corinth, Miss.,
proved the most dramatic feature yesterday at the monthly meeting of
Camp
St. Louis, 731, United Confederate Veterans, at Jefferson Memorial.
Many
in the audience of 300 wept when they saw the reunion of John T Appler,
74 years old, of Clayton, and Charles Mills, 77, who came to St. Louis
from his home in Arkansas on business, and attended the meeting.
"We had both given each other up for dead,"
said Appler last night.
"Mills was carried to the rear after his left arm had been shot away
in a
skirmish at close range. My wound was not serious, but I was confident
Mills would not recover."
Both men were in Company K of the Fourth Missouri
Infantry. Mills has been living in Arkansas since the war and Appler
had
heard no news of him until yesterday, when he walked into the meeting.
