East Liverpool Crisis - 12 January 1893 pg 8
At 11:45 Tuesday night William B. Allison, an aged resident of Second Street, 
this city, after but a few weeks’ illness, his ailments arising from old age 
mainly, passed to sleep. The deceased was born in Washington county Pa., on the 
6th of March 1806, and while but a youth moved with his parents to a farm in 
Hancock (then Brooke) county, on the hills directly opposite the East End of 
this city, where they resided until April 1830, when he was united in marriage 
to Mrs. Fannie Wilcoxen, to whom he had five children, four of whom are living, 
viz: Charles B. Allison and Mrs. Fannie Susan Bryan, of this city, and Thomas 
and Richard Allison, of Iowa. After the death of the first wife he was again 
married, on May 26, 1845 to Miss Nancy Ann Goddard, to whom he had eleven 
children, ten of whom are living, viz: Mrs. Mary E. Johnston, Albert L., James 
E., Mrs. Sarah B. Bowles, and George, all of this city; William B. Allison, St. 
Clair township; Mrs. Harriet A. Newman, Mrs. Gilson, Madison township; Steenrod 
Allison, of Wellsville, and Rosa B. Hill, of Tiltonville. During the last two 
weeks of his illness he was partially demented, and required careful watching 
to keep in bed. About fifteen years ago he sold his property in Grant district 
and moved to a farm in Madison township, this county, where he resided until 
about four years since. His first wife lies in Fairview cemetery, but his 
remains will be interred in Spring Grove, this city, at a date to be determined 
by the answers from telegrams sent to the two sons in Iowa. The funeral, 
however, will not take place before tomorrow. Although well up in years, the 
deceased carried his age well, and in appearance did not look to the casual 
observer to be any older than his oldest son, Charles B., although between 
their ages there was a difference of twenty five years.
