Dr. Allison was born near Paris, Missouri, April 25, 1862, and at the age of two years moved with his parents to Boone County. He was one of nine children, one of whom died in infancy; the remaining eight all chose the teaching profession. He received his education in the public schools of Sturgeon, Missouri, MaGee College in Missouri, and the State Teachers College of Kirksville, Missouri, of which institution he became principal. He later took up the study of osteopathy in the Kirksville school and graduated in 1905, being preceded by his fiancee, the present Mrs. Allison.
Dr. Allison came to Monrovia in 1905 and until 1909 was connected with the Pacific College of Osteopathy in Los Angeles, where he took a post-graduate degree course and received his degree of Sc.D. He practiced in Los Angeles until the World War, when he entered the service as a Y.M.C.A. secretary, being stationed at Mare Island in charge of the marines as athletic supervisor. After the outbreak of the "flu" epidemic he was appointed chaplain and served four months, until the armistice.
Dr. Allison is a progressive member of the community and has improved every piece of property he has purchased in Monrovia. His home, erected according to plans designed by himself and Mrs. Allison, was the first large residence in the town and still remains one of the most prominent in the business section, after seventeen years. Their home bears the air of hospitality and Mrs. Allison's fame as a genial hostess extends far beyond the limits of the city.
Dr. Allison has always been active in public affairs and lends his efforts and substance generously to the promotion of all worthy subjects. He is the President of the Park Board, in which position he has always labored diligently for the beautification of our parking system.
