From The Franklin Observer (published in Franklin, Macon Co., NC), 
March 16, 1860 issue:

Died, of fever, in Jackson Co., N. C., on the 7th of Feb. ult., in the
13th year of his age, Benjamin B. Allison, a boy of bright intellect,
a sweet spirit, affable and kind in his disposition and manner; had
religious parents, and of course had the advantage of early, religious
training; was early dedicated by baptism in the M. E. Church, and was
a mourner at the altar of prayer at the camp meeting on Scott's Creek,
in October last; did not make any public profession, but told his 
little brother that he felt mighty happy.  But little Benjamin is gone
from the evils to come, his body rests in that lonely spot, (the
grave-yard at Long's Chapel,) where friend after friend has been borne,
to rest until the resurrection's morn, when they shall wake up 
together to receive, each a reward according to the deeds done in the
body.

May God comfort the bereaved parents and sorrowing friends, that sorrow
not as those that have no hope; but prepare well to meet dear friends in
Heaven where parting is not known,
                           W. W. S.
