Passing of Ruger Camp #1 Brother Charles W. Allen
It is with sincere regret and much sorrow that I inform you of the passing on March 12, 2012 of our Brother and Camp Chaplain Charles W. Allen. At the age of 95, Brother Charles was one of the oldest members of record in our Order, and he may have been the oldest Brother still active and participating in the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Charles derived his right of SUVCW membership from his Great Grandfather John E. Allen, PVT Co. K, 45 MA Infantry.

I direct that the MG Thomas H. Ruger Camp #1 will observe a thirty day period of mourning, beginning today, Tuesday, March13, 2012. The Camp Charter and membership badges will
be draped in black for this period in memory of Brother Charles.

Charles is survived by three daughters, Cynthia Boudreau of Norton, Massachusetts, Judith Allen of the home, Deborah Rice Talmadge of Mineral, Virginia and several nieces and nephews, as well. Charles is grandfather to four grandchildren and one great grandchild.
A time of visitation will be held on Thursday, March 15, 2012 from 4:00-8:00PM at Floyd Mortuary & Crematory, Inc. 809 East 5th Street, Lumberton.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 15, 2012, at St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church in Lumberton (time to be determined). Burial will follow at Gardens of Faith Cemetery in Lumberton.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church, 2000 Elizabethtown Road, Lumberton, NC 28358.

As Camp Commander, I have always felt both proud and lucky that the Ruger Camp had Brother Charles as a member and Chaplain of our Camp. Charles has always had my highest respect as both a World War II and Korean War Army veteran and as a true gentleman. Charles was a loyal, devoted, and beloved member and officer of our Camp m and our Order and a friend to us all. He will be greatly missed. Let us all keep Brother Charles Allen and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

So ordered this 13th day of March, 2012.
