On November 12, 1918, the death angel came to the home of Elder A. L. Allison, of Dover, Tenn., and claimed for its victim his devoted wife. Sister Allison before her marriage was Miss Rebecca Minerva Campbell. He was born on July 2, 1877. In 1896 she was "born again" --born into the family of God, the household of faith, the church which our Savior shed his precious blood to establish. She was baptized by Brother Matthews. She was married to Elder A. L. Allison on June 12, 1904. To this union were born five children, one of whom (the oldest) died in infancy. The writer was called to conduct the funeral services, but, on account of a misunderstanding in the time, arrived too late, and the services were conducted by God's faithful servant, our brother in the faith, her husband. The highest eulogy I can pay to her memory is to say she was a Christian. Wayne Clark. - Gospel Advocate, January 2, 1919, page 14.
