Allen, D. E., German Flats, was born in Mohawk, April 12, 1852, and has been 
in the furniture business since he was eighteen years of age.  In 1886 he 
married Miss Blanche Elwood. Mr. Allen is a Mason and a man of high standing 
socially in Mohawk.  His father, Enos Allen, came to Mohawk in 1840 from 
Connecticut and the family history extends back two hundred years in this 
country.  This well and favorably known furniture business was founded nearly 
half a century ago by E. Allen, father of the present proprietor.  Some twenty 
years ago Mr. Allen associated with him his son, D. E. Allen, when it was 
conducted under the firm name of E. Allen & Son, and  finally in 1886, at the 
death of his father, D. E. Allen assumed sole control; and he has fully 
maintained the high reputation of the house which it has always borne for 
handling the most reliable goods at the most reasonable prices. The warerooms 
are comprised in a four story building 22 x 69 feet in dimensions and having a 
floorage area of 6,000 square feet.  D. E. Allen was born in Mohawk and is a 
gentleman of excellent business standing, enjoying the respect and esteem of 
the entire community.  He is a director of the Mohawk Valley National Bank, 
the Mohawk Valley Knitting Mills, and the Knitting Company of Mohawk, 
Limited.  He is also the possessor of considerable real estate in the village, 
and although busily engaged in his enterprise, he still finds time to interest 
himself in fine Holstein cattle, and has one of the finest dairy farms of 225 
acres in this section of the state, with a creamery and cheese factory 
attached.
