Miss Adeline J. Allen was born at the Allen homestead, four and one-half miles northwest of Grafton, Neb., March 20, 1872. She passed away at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. M. Z. Irish, in St. Louis, Mo., July 27, 1936.
She was the oldest daughter of Charles S. and Eliza Allen, who preceded her in death. Coming from their rural home in 1899, they made their residence in Geneva, a year later going to their permanent residence on Ninth Street, which is known as the Allen home.
Miss Allen was graduated with honor from the Sutton High School and completed her academic training at the Fremont Normal in Fremont, Neb.
She spent a number of years teaching, both in and out of the state.
In 1908, she was appointed deputy post mistress of the Geneva Post Office, which position she held to the time of her death.
Since last December she has been on sick leave, her native determination undefeated by her ailments.
She has exercised a keen interest in the cultural activities of the Geneva community, being a member of the P. E. O. sisterhood, the O .E .S., the D. A. R. and the D. of U. V.
Most prominent in her life was the devotion and loyalty to her church, with which she united when coming to Geneva. She was active in the Christian Endeavor and as a teacher in the Sunday school and worked faithfully in the ladies organizations.
At the last annual meeting of the Geneva Congregational Church, she was elected clerk emeritus, having completed twenty-four years in that official capacity.
She was not only liberal with her financial support, but by her presence as long as her health permitted.
In her immediate family, but one sister survives, Mrs. Edith Irish of St. Louis, Mo., three sisters and three brothers having preceded her in death.
Besides her sister, she leaves ten nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Allen was a patient sufferer in her protracted illness. Her radian spirit lifted her above the consciousness that life is eternal.
The funeral service was held at her late home at 2:30 Friday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. Edward W. Day. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
Members of the Geneva Post Office force, who had been closely associated with Miss Allen in her work for many years, served as pall bearers.
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. M. Z. Irish, son Jack and daughters Jean and Carolyn of St. Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Allen Singleton of Colorado Springs; Mrs. Harry Kahler and son Jack of Omaha; Harry Allen and son-in-law, and daughter Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hennessey and daughter Miss Louise Allen and son Edward, all of Davey; and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Simmon of Diller.
