General Notes: Husband - Dr. Thomas Mutter Allison, M.D.


He received his preliminary education in the common schools of Elderton, Pennsylvania, after which he was a pupil at Rev. Obediah Miller's Academy, at West Newton, West­moreland County, Pennsylvania, and later entered Lambeth College, Kittanning, from which latter insti­tution he was graduated in the year 1869. He read medicine with his father, and completed his course at Jefferson Medical College, Phil­adelphia, graduating in March, 1872. Return­ing home to Kittanning, he lost no time in getting down to real practice, for within thirty-six hours after his arrival he had visited several of his father's patients, his father having a very large practice, more, in fact, than he could easily attend to. Dr. Allison continued his active professional life without interruption for more than forty years, and he had a most extensive patronage. His son and son-in-law (F. C. Monks, M. D.) also were medical practitioners of Kittanning, and all enjoyed a high standing that kept them busy in the borough and vicinity. Few citizens of that section won their way more thoroughly into the confidence of their fellow men than Dr. Allison. He was a member of the Arm­strong County Medical Society, and of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society. He served several years as president and secre­tary of the county organization, and also its treasurer. The Doctor was always particularly interested in the subject of pub­lic education, served as member of the borough school board, and as a member of the borough council. For several years he was United State examining surgeon for pen­sions. [HAC 1914, 408]

Of the five children born to Dr. and Mrs. Allison three died in infancy.
