General Notes: Husband - Dr. James A. Allison, D.D.

---

He graduated at Jefferson College, class of 1845, and at the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, in 1848, after which he was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Sewickley for sixteen years, and for several years was connected with the late Rev. Dr. McKinney as editor of the Presbyterian Banner. Dr. Allison, in 1864, along with Robert Patterson, bought the Presbyterian Banner, which they published and edited thereafter, and its circulation quadrupled under their management. Dr. Allison was a director of the Western Theological Seminary; trustee of Washington and Jefferson College; one of the managers of the Pennsylvania Reform School at Morganza, which position he filled fourteen years. He was a member of the Presbyterian General Assembly seven times; from 1865 on he was a member of the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen; was a member of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce for several years, and always took an active part in public movements in church and state.
