Extremely progressive in his profession and enjoying a state-wide practice Dr. Allen's services were sought generally. Last summer he went to the Colorado mountains for an extended rest but his health broke in Estes Park and he was removed to St. Luke's hospital in Denver. Later he was brought to Topeka when, for a time, improvement was shown. He failed rapidly in the last week, however, and death came. Dr. Allen was born in Harlan, Ia., son of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Allen. He was educated in the public schools of that city and entered the state university of Iowa City, graduating in medicine in 1908. At the university he was a member of Kappa Sigma social and Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternities. Also, in his senior year he was captain of the Iowa university football team, playing the fullback position. Following graduation he went with his brother, Dr. G. S. Allen, who was practicing medicine at Clarkson, Neb. After a year's practice, he took graduate work in the Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat college, coming to Topeka in 1910 where he began his career as a specialist at the Santa Fe hospital. In 1911 and 1912, Dr. Allen went to Vienna and received instruction from some of the most distinguished surgeons in Europe. Later in his career he returned to Vienna and to Budapest and studied further with noted specialists on the continent. In 1913, he opened an office of his own in Topeka where he has practiced his profession continuously except for service as lieutenant in the World War and while taking graduate work in Europe. At the time of his death he had associated with him Dr. Harold W. Powers. In 1911, at Des Moines, he was married to Miss Hope Moler, whom he met as a girl in Iowa City. Both Dr. and Mrs. Allen have been leaders in the social life of the city since they moved to Topeka. The charming family home is located at 1434 Jewell in the College Hill district. Dr. Allen was a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the Kansas State and the American Medical associations, a past president of the Shawnee Medical Society and, at the time of his death, was president of the Stormont Hospital Association. He was a member, also, of the Episcopal church, the Topeka Country club, several Masonic bodies, of the Rotary club, Elks club and other social and civic organizations. In recent years Dr. Allen, with Mrs. Allen, made many extended trips thruout this country and abroad. He was a golf enthusiast, also, and at one time was champion of the Shawnee Country Club and city champion of Topeka. He was a hunting and fishing enthusiast and was an ever sought after bridge partner. With it all he found time to carry on with his profession both in practice and study and his services were called upon from all sections of Kansas. Surviving him are his widow, two children, Jane, 13 and George, Jr., 11; his mother, Mrs. D. W. Allen of Harlan, Ia.; five sisters, Mrs. T. J. Newby and Mrs. Cora Wilcox, of Harlan, Ia.; Mrs. Edwin Guerin and Mrs. Daisy Young, of Oakland, Calif., and Mrs. F. E. Zoerb, Scotts Bluff, Neb., and one brother, Dr. S. G. Allen, Stanton, Neb.
