Frank B. Allen was down from Haigler on business matters Monday and the POST editor enjoyed an interesting visit with him. The Allen family were among the earlier residents of Haigler precinct and Frank's father, N.J. Allen, filed on his homestead in what was then known as Blaine precinct 50 years ago. Mr. Allen, during his lifetime, was a very prominent citizen in the west end and influential in the county's political life, passed away many years ago and Blaine precinct was later merged with the other precincts and as a precinct, went out of existence.

Dave Allen was a brother of N.J. Allen, and also was prominent in the pioneer life, of the west. He left Dundy County 41 years ago to locate in Oregon and at the time of his death, was a resident of Salem. He is survived by his wife and daughter and last week they visited at the F.B. Allen home en route east and their short visit here, spent largely in reliving the earlier days in Dundy County history, was the occasion for a very enjoyable period in Frank's life. Mrs. Dave Allen taught the first school in Haigler precinct which was operated in a small residence building in town.
