This community was saddened on Friday when it was learned that Mrs. Burta Allen, age 75, wife of Arthur L. Allen, had passed away at the St. Clare hospital in this city, following an illness of nearly two months. Mrs. Allen suffered a stroke of paralysis at her home in Rupert, Idaho, on Jan. 23, 1946, and she was returned to the local hospital a few weeks ago, where she passed away.

The family made their home on a farm at Markle, Indiana, until 1910 when they moved to Fort Benton, where they pioneered on a homestead in the Pleasant Valley section, where they resided until 1940 when they retired from the ranch and lived for a time in Fort Benton and also for a short time in Conrad. In 1943 they moved to Rupert, Idaho, to make their home until Mrs. Allen was stricken with paralysis.
Mrs. Allen was a charter member of the First Christian church at Fort Benton and she has two sons in the ministry of that church. Mrs. Allen was loved and highly respected by all who knew her and her passing will be mourned by a large circle of friends.
