General Notes: Husband - Edward Allison

---

In a subscription school at Potters Mills, Centre County, Pennsylvania, he began his education under the in­struction of Frank Hess, and continued to pur­sue his studies in the district schools until the fall of 1871, when he entered the State College, where he was a diligent student for three years. The knowledge that he thus acquired was greatly supplemented by extensive reading and observation in later years, and he was well-informed on all the leading questions and topics of the day. On leaving the school room, he returned to the home farm, which he successfully operated, and was also engaged in look­ing after the extensive interests of the family in and around Potters Mills, his sister Lillie Eliza­beth living with him. In addition to his agricult­ural pursuits, he was connected with his broth­ers, William and Archibald, in a woolen-factory up to about 1892, which proved a paying invest­ment.
After casting his first vote, Mr. Allison was a firm adherent of Republican principles, taking a deep interest in the success of his party, but was no politician in the sense of office-seeking. He always attended and supported the Presbyterian Church.
