History of Owen Co., IN, Charles Blanchard, 1884, page 670
Noah ALLISON, brother of James M. H., came to Spencer a few years after his brother and began business on a small scale; from the early history of Owen Co., until a few years before his death, he was the leading merchant of the town and county. He was a man of great energy, industry, and perseverance, and practiced the most rigid economy. He began with a very meager stock of goods as well as customers. He also worked as a shoemaker when not waiting on customers. He soon controlled the greater portion of the business in the county. He traded extensively in all kinds of products, shipping them to New Orleans in flatboats, and amassed a considerable fortune. His sons continued his business for many years after he retired, and his three grandsons are running the grocery store at his old place of business.
