Obituary—James Allison

James Allison, a pioneer of Nodaway County, passed away last Saturday at his home in Hopkins. Short funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon, his aged wife being unable to leave her room, after which the remains were taken to New Hope church, 6 miles east of Hopkins, where the funeral discourse was preached by Rev. Fletcher, pastor of the Baptist church of Bedford, after which the remains were laid to rest in the New Hope cemetery, the deceased being a charter member of the New Hope church.

Mr. Allison had been a resident of Nodaway County for 45 years, spending the last eight years of his life in Hopkins. He was born at Moffet, Halton County, Province of Ontario, Canada, March 25, 1836, and died in Hopkins, Mo., June 16, 1923, making him 87 years, 2 months and 21 days of age at the time of his death. He was reared on the home farm in Canada and educated in the public schools of that country, remaining in Canada until 1868 when he went to Nucia, Michigan, and rented farming land but remained there only a short time, going to Dakota in 1870 where he preempted a half section of land and improved same, remaining there nearly eight years, when he moved to Crawford county, Iowa, and farmed one year, coming to Nodaway county in 1878, buying eighty acres of land near where Gaynor now stands, breaking the virgin soil and  putting it in corn. Two years later, he sold this land and bought 160 acres a few miles farther north where he remained until moving to Hopkins eight years ago.

In his early life, Mr. Allison devoted considerable attention in raising Shorthorn cattle—also in dairying. He first sold butter, then sold milk in cans with glass on the side of them to measure the depth of the cream; he then sold milk and had the skimmed milk returned to him to be fed to calves and pigs, this being in the days of the old Hopkins creamery. In 1902, he put out a big orchard that proved to be one of the best in the county. He also handled many horses, dealing principally in the big drafters.

Mr. Allison married October 9, 1855, to Ann Cleve, who survives him. She was born Feb. 4, 1837, in Devonshire, England, coming to Canada with her parents in 1849, the family locating in the county where Mr. Allison was born, and it was there the then young people met, wooed and wed. As above stated, Mr. Allison was a member of the Baptist church and in politics was termed an "Independent," voting for the man rather than for the party. In his younger days, he served as school director and held different township and district offices, which he filled most acceptably. He was honest and fair in all his dealings, a good neighbor and a progressive citizen and was permitted to live to a ripe old age to enjoy the blessings of a well-spent and useful life.

Besides the wife, he leaves six living children and six preceeded him in death. The living are Geo. E. [dwin], Hopkins, Mo.; John Alfred, New Market, Iowa; W. Orlando, Palisades, California; Amy Ella Clary, Bedford, Iowa; Viola J. [ane] Dowell, Bedford, Iowa; and Milo F. [red], Hopkins, Mo. Also 34 grandchildren and 48 great grandchildren, making in all 88 living descendants, he and his good wife having lived happily together for 68 years.

[The same obituary, with the addition of a photograph of the couple, was printed in the Bedford Times-Republican June 26, 1923, page 1.]
