Darrell Bradford Allsup

Graveside services for Darrell Bradford Allsup, 93, of Brookings, Ore. were held April 8 at 1 p.m. at the Douglas Park Cemetery in Douglas with Reverend Carol A. Prochaska of the Congregation United Church of Christ officiating.

Mr. Allsup died Sunday, April 2, in a hospital in Brookings, Ore. from complications of Parkinson's disease.

He was born March 14, 1913, in Atkinson, Neb.; son of James Walker and Jennie Merle (Baughn) Allsup. He was raised and educated in Manville and worked as a young man in the Wyoming oilfields.

On July 3, 1937, he married Lucille R. Carpenter in Harrison, Neb. The couple moved to Brookings, Ore. in Jan. of 1945 where they raised their three children.

Mr. Allsup was a long-term employee of Elmer Bankus, the original owner of Brookings Water Company. He later started his own business as a contractor in construction and land development. Mr. Allsup was active and involved in many aspects of life in Brookings. He was a member of the City Council in the 1980's and was also very active in the Sydney Croft Masonic Lodge and the local Shriners. Athletic throughout his life, he took up golf at the age of eighty; and became an accomplished golfer. He was a devoted lifelong Christian, and a devoted family man. Neat and tidy in appearance, he will be remembered as a "dapper" gentleman.

Since his early days in Wyoming, he had maintained an avid interest in oil and mineral exploration.
