Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Austin Douglas Allen was born on March 26, 1914, in Hyrum, Utah, to Austin David and Georgia Allen. After earning his primary and secondary education in Cache Valley, he received a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University) in 1938. Allen was employed as a civil engineer with the Utah State Road Commission, the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, Geneva Steel Company, and Thiokol Chemical Corporation, and he also ran a dry wheat farm and poultry operation in Hansel Valley, Box Elder County. An active member of the Hyrum, Utah City Council from the 1950s to the late 1990s, Allen was involved with the community's water system upgrade. He died on September 4, 2006.
