Dave:
I may have this one covered. I've had this parentless Arnold P Allen for a while. He is survived by a half-brother Stanley.
Now Stanley Allen is a son of Alice E Allen and her obit mentions a brother, Arnold. She would be 18/19 when Arnold was born. There also appears to be a connection with Manitoba for Arnold and Stanley.
