General Notes: Husband - Col. John B. McAllister

---

He was educated in the common schools and at New Bloomfield Academy. He read law with W. A. Spousler, of New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, was admitted to the bar in April, 1856, and in the autumn of that year was elected district attorney of Perry County.
He recruited the Seventeenth Pennsylvania Cavalry in 1862, was sworn in as captain, but commissioned lieutenant colonel, and served nearly two years, until discharged because of disability. On January 28, 1865, he located at Oil City, Pennsylvania, where he practiced successfully beginning April 25th of that year, when he was admitted to the Venango county bar. He served as city attorney of Oil City, and was twice nominated by the Democratic party for state senator for the district; the district gave Hartranft a fifteen hundred Republican majority, but gave Mr. McAllister's opponent only a forty-four majority. He was a member of the Masonic order, Perseverance Lodge, No. 21, at Harrisburg, and he belonged to the Knights of Honor of Oil City.
