General Notes: Husband - Ralph Martin Allison
He received his early education in the grammar and high schools of Washington, Pennsylvania, whence he entered Washington and Jefferson College, from which he was graduated in the class of 1909 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He then took up the study of law in the University of Pennsylvania, whence he was graduated in the class of 1912 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. In the year of his graduation from the law school he was admitted to the bar of the State of Pennsylvania, and began to engage in practice in Washington, where he followed his profession for the rest of his life. He was actively engaged in the worth-while affairs of the public, and endorsed wholeheartedly the principles, policies and desirable candidates of the Republican Party. His chief interest, outside his profession, lay in the teachings and practices of Freemasonry. He was thoroughly conversant with the history of the order, and had imbibed to an unusual degree the essence of the ethics and precepts of the great fraternity. He was a director of the Washington Trust Company and a member of the First Presbyterian Church at Washington.
Mr. Allison was a Past Worshipful Master of Washington Lodge, No. 164, Free and Accepted Masons; a Past High Priest of Washington Chapter, No. 150, Royal Arch Masons; and District Deputy Grand Master of the 29th Masonic District of the State of Pennsylvania. He had been made the recipient of the Masonic honor of the thirty-second degree.
A fitting tribute to the memory of Mr. Allison is embodied in the words of another: "A man of high ideals, a lover of human kind, people were drawn to him by his magnetic personality and held by his sincerity and loyalty. He will long be remembered not only by the fraternity which he honored and by whom he was honored, but by a wide circle of devoted friends."
