The longest consecutive serving prosecutor in Indiana died Sept. 26. Owen County Prosecutor Allan Fountain was 64.

Fountain was the Owen County prosecutor for 30 years. The Indianapolis native graduated from Valparaiso University Law School in 1971 and was admitted to the bar that same year. He had served on the board of the Indiana Prosecutors Association and left the board this year.

Fountain was active in the Owen County Republican Party, Owen County Fraternal Order of Police, the National Rifle Association, Spencer Exchange Club, and the National Wild Turkey Federation, as well as the Sweet Owen Bassmasters and the Casting Kids contests. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and collector of scale model tractors.

Fountain is survived by his wife, Judith (Crowe) Fountain; children Jill Beauchamp, Sharon Lee, and Sonya Seymour; and four grandchildren.
