Lucy Stonestreet Allen, born April 8, 1854; died December 19, 1913. Oxford Female Seminary, Ohio. Teacher in the Public Schools since 1875. Sixteen years Principal of the Delaware School, Evansville, Indiana.
She spent the years of her childhood and young womanhood in Rockville, Indiana, beginning her career as a teacher in the second grade of the Public School. She made a great success of her work with children.
After the death of her mother, she made her home in Evansville, Indiana, where she continued her work in the higher grades of the Public Schools of that city. She was offered and accepted the position of Principal of one of the largest school buildings in the outlying districts where the work was difficult and not well established. She gave her whole heart and mind to bring the discipline and efficiency of her school to rank with the best, and had the joy of seeing it so recognized by the Board of Education, the children of the school and the citizens of the whole city, who publicly expressed their appreciation and regret at her sudden death by placing in the hall of Delaware School a bronze tablet to her memory, her personality and giving service for so many years of her life. The tablet has this inscription, "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die".
