Author: Allen County Democrat

From The Allen County Democrat, August 26, 1880

MATTHEW ALLISON was born on the 25th day of August, 1800, in Belmont county 
Penn.  On first coming to Ohio he settled in Fairfield county.  In 1827 he 
came to that part of Ohio which is now in Bath township, Allen county, and 
settled on the farm on which he has ever since resided.  In 1837, just forty-
three years ago last April, he was united in marriage with Miss CATHERINE 
THOMPSON, a sister of ADAM THOMPSON of this county.  Mrs. ALLISON, although 
well up in years, is as cheerful and sprightly as a girl.  They have had born 
to them twelve children, eight of whom are still living, as follows:  WILLIAM, 
who is unmarried, residing in Cloud county, Kansas; JAMES, JACOB, ANDREW and 
JOHN, all married and reside in Allen county; NANCY JANE, the youngest, is 
unmarried and lives with her parents; MARGARET, intermarried with WILLIAM 
MEEKS of Perry township, and REBECCA, intermarried with GEO. TAFFLINGER, who 
resides on the County Infirmary farm.  Mr. ALLISON has always been an 
industrious, quiet man, with an ear ever open to the cry of distress and a 
hand ever ready to afford relief.  We need not say that all who know Mr. and 
Mrs. ALLISON love and respect them.
