Judge Allen <br />presided over the County of Orange Superior Court Department One for more than a decade. He was born in Kansas, and went to <br />school in Oklahoma. After marrying, he and Alys moved to Brawley, California where he would begin to practice law. In 1923, they <br />moved to Santa Ana, and by 1927, he received appointment to Superior Court Judge by the newly elected governor, C.C. Young. <br />Judge Allen retired in 1947. Sometime after 1950, the couple moved to San Diego and Mervin Porter purchased the home. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11.
