Virgie Iola Allen, daughter of Charles and Minnie Arie Freeborn, was born September 3, 1913 near Dean, Iowa and departed this life September 11, 1978 at the University Medical Center Hospital at Columbia, Missouri. She had been in failing health for sometime prior to going to Columbia for tests. She was 65 years and 8 days of age.
Virgie grew to womanhood in the community of her birth where she received her early education at the local schools.
On December 8, 1932, she was united in marriage to Elva Loyd Allen at Lancaster, Missouri. This union was blessed with 8 children, 7 of whom survive.
After their marriage, Virgie and Elva made their home with her mother, Minnie Freeborn for the first year, then moved to Coal City, Iowa for approximately 4 years. In 1942, they moved to their present home in the Chariton community, where they have since resided. Elva has been engaged in farming during these years while Virgie was a successful homemaker.
Virgie was preceded in death by one infant son, one infant grandson and one infant granddaughter.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Elva; her parents, Charles and Minnie Freeborn; 2 sons, Charles Loyd Allen of Fort Myers, Florida and Thomas Elva Allen of Novinger, Missouri; 5 daughters, Barbara Peckham of Unionville, Missouri, Betty Tompkins of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Bonnie Mendenhall of Swan, Iowa, Beulah Boland of Lucerne, Missouri, and Mary Oden of Unionville, Missouri; 23 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Also surviving are 2 brothers, Orville Freeborn of Cincinnati, Iowa and Gene Freeborn of Floris, Iowa; 2 sisters, Vivian Marvin of Moulton, Iowa and Beulah Sweeden of Mesa, Arizona.
Virgie was a devoted wife and mother whose interest in life was centered around her home and family. Her disposition was gentle and pleasant, a fine friend and neighbor, especially to those in need. Her life could well be an example to those who loved her. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
Services were held on Thursday, September 14, 1978 at 2:00 p.m. at the Husted Funeral Home in Unionville, Missouri, with Reverend A. E. Forest officiating. Interment in Mount Herman Cemetery, Putnam County, Missouri.
