General Notes: Husband - Thomas Henderson Allison

---

After receiving his primary educa­tion in a subscription school he attended Florence Academy, and later Franklin Col­lege, at New Athens, Ohio. He began the study of medicine under Dr. A. C. Hamilton, of West Middletown, Pennsylvania, and in 1854 was gradu­ated from Jefferson Medical College, after which he began practice at Murrysville, Pennsylvania. Remaining there a little over a year, he re­moved thence to Elderton, Armstrong County, where he was located until the summer of 1862. At that time he became acting assist­ant surgeon at the Hammond general hospital at Point Lookout, Maryland. During the invasion of the State of Pennsylvania Dr. Allison was commissioned surgeon, and he was with the 29th Pennsylvania Emergency Regiment. On resuming private practice in 1867 he settled at Kittanning, Armstrong County, where he remained for over a quarter of a century, and he was not only foremost in his profession in that section but thoroughly associated with lo­cal interests in various other connections as well. For a number of years he served as United States examining surgeon for pensions, was for many years surgeon of the Allegheny Valley Railway Company, was a member of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and a member of the Armstrong County Medical Society. Becoming interested in fine stock farming he introduced into Armstrong County at an early day some high-class Jersey and Aberdeen Angus cattle, as well as Spanish Merino, Shropshire and Dorset Horned sheep, and he belonged to the American Jersey Cat­tle Club, the American Shropshire Sheep Rec­ord Association, the American Aberdeen Angus Association and the Dorset Horned Sheep Association. His interest in public affairs led him into taking part in the local government, and he served three years as president of the Kittanning council. For sev­eral years he was president of the Allegheny Valley Bank. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and was an honorable member of the Bankers' and Bank Clerks' Mutual Benefit Association of Pittsburgh, Pa. For many years he was a member of the M. E. Church. [HAC 1914, 407]

Of the chil­dren born to this couple, three, two sons and one daughter, died in childhood from malignant diphtheria.
