Some one has kept the stone of Charles P. Allen G.A.R. in the Old Millerstown Cemetery (Perry Co., PA) very nicely. Surely this is the work of a cousin of my husband, (great-grandson of Charles P. Allen and Mary Elizabeth Martin through their daughter Edith Elizabeth Allen who m. William Kaufhold. Their daughter Jennie May Kaufhold m. William Arnold Sterling)
We would like to connect with this cousin.
