The cause of his death is not clear, although some have conjectured he was the fatal victim of a robbery. Allen then chose to leave his schooling in order to support his family. Working in a number of manufacturing firms in various roles, he found he could make a comfortable living as a clerk . At the age of 38, Allen retired from full-time employment and moved with his wife and daughter to a small cottage to seek simplicity and fulfillment as a writer of thoughtful texts. Over the next nine years, he founded a magazine and wrote 19 books. Allen died in 1912 at the age of 47.
