Pinckney Dispatch, May 20, 1920
William T. Allison was born in Orange County, NY, March 25, 1843, and died May 12, 1920, at the age of 77 years, one month, and seventeen days.
He was united in marriage to Orvilla Carson Stafford in 1869. To this union was born one son, Mark W. of Putnam. Mrs. Allison died in July of 1913.
He leaves to mourn his loss the son, two brothers, Freeman of Putnam, and Mark B. of Iosco, two grandchildren and one great- grandchild.
Mr. Allison's father moved to this county when William was but a boy, and is therefore one of the oldest settlers in this community. He has helped to develop this great country and lived to see what science and invention has done for his native land and the world. The younger people owe much to the fathers and mothers. Many of the hardships and privations of the earliest pioneers are unknown to the present generation. You have his life-imitate his virtues and avoid his mistakes.
The funeral was held Saturday, May 15, from the residence of his son Mark, Rev. N. M. Pierce officiating. Burial at Pinckney Cemetery.
