Farland Wallen, East Lincoln Supporter and Activist
Farland Wallen, 94, died October 7, 2007. He was living with his son, Furnal at The Villages, Florida at the time of his death. He was recovering from the amputation of his right leg due to peripheral arterial disease.
Wallen was born in Indianapolis, IN on Aug. 16, 1913, the first son of Andrew A. Wallen and Minnie Estella Thornton Wallen. After graduation, he married his high school sweetheart Pauline Ruth Pearson. Their marriage lasted 61 years until her death in 1992.
Mr. Wallen was well-known in the Denver area. He purchased a lot in the Westport Golf Club community and built the first home on the peninsula section of Westport.
He took an active role in his community and was active in the formation of the East Lincoln Betterment Association. He served two terms as the chairman of that organization. Wallen was also instrumental in the creation of the community library helping establish the first library in a trailer near Holy Spirit Catholic Church, and he was largely responsible for the creation of a rescue squad to get ambulance equipment located in Denver.
On three occasions, he was elected president of the Westport Peninsula Association. He was an avid golfer both on the Westport Golf Course and in Venice, Florida where he spent many winters after his retirement.
Wallen came to the Denver area through his work in the insurance industry. In 1939, Mr. Wallen entered the life insurance business as an agent with the Western and Southern Life Insurance Company. His early success led to rapid promotions through the company and he served in various offices in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. In 1964 he was placed in charge of the company’s Southeastern regional office in Charlotte as the agency director and vice-president.
From there, his dream of living on a lake was finally realized when he purchased his lot on Lake Norman. His son described him as a gentleman and very successful in business.
Wallen was very interested in history and genealogy. In retirement, he enjoyed searching for information of his early ancestors. Years of research led to the publication of a book which traced his family ancestry back over 300 years. Copies of the book were placed in over 300 public libraries in the United States, Canada, and Ireland.
While writing the book, he sought information in the Denver library. During those visits, he developed a friendship with librarian Grayce Greene. They married in December 1993. Grayce preceded him in death in 2005 after 11 years of marriage.
Mr. Wallen is survived by his son Furnal Wallen of Florida, one sister, Ilene Fuller; four grandchildren, Teresa Schithroat, Victoria Foeller, Curtis Wallen and Laura Hess; eight great grandchildren and seven great-great grandchildren. He was also preceded in death by a son, Chyron Wallen.
