He showed a keen interest in the college and the community and as a sportsman took part for years in the activities of the Gallia County Fox Hunters Assn.
     He was a trustee and member of Simpson Chapel Methodist Church and belonged to Centerville Masonic Lodge, Gallipolis Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Moriah Council, Rose Commandery, Knights Temple and Aladdin Shrine. In the 1920s he was a trustee of Rio Grande college.

Allison, John J.

J.J. Allison, Former School Head Here, Dies
     John J. Allison, superintendent of the Gallipolis schools in the late ‘80’s, died Tuesday at his home in Caldwell, Idaho. He was past 82 and was quite feeble on the occasion of his last visit here some four years ago.
     Mr. Allison succeeded the late M. E. Hard as superintendent here. Those who remember Mr. Allison praised him highly as a man and an educator and one who knew him well said today that “he was pure gold.”
     During his stay here he married Jennie Bailey, daughter of the late C. D. Bailey. Two children were born of this union—Margaret and William—but the mother and daughter have been dead many years.
From Gallipolis the Allisons moved to Joliet, Ill., where he served as school superintendent. Their next move was to Boise, the capital of Idaho, where father and son engaged in the fruit business on an extensive scale. The son is still so engaged. At Joliet Mr. Allison married again; and his second wife and two children, Mary and James, survive him and are at home.
     Mr. Allison’s death came four days after that of L. W. MacKinnon, former prinicipal.

Allison, John Washington

Another Pioneer Laid to Rest
     John Washington Allison was born at Gallia, Gallia Co., Ohio February 11th, 1826 where he grew to manhood. Died May 3rd, 1895 at 7:30 p.m. of Paralysis of the liver. Was married to Armetta Ripley of Gallia, Ohio November 18, 1845 who now survives him with ten children to mourn the loss of an ever kind and affectionate father and loving and ever faithful husband.
     Mr. Allison was a farmer by occupation and having secured two terms as Sheriff of Gallia County, Ohio. In the year 1852 they immigrated by boats and overland to Chickasaw Co., Iowa and was one of the first white men to build a house where Nashua now stands, where he cleared up and cultivated a farm with Indians for neighbors, which in that early day was not very agreeable company. After 4 years, removed to Crane Creek, Minnesota where they took up land. But the Indians were troublesome and committed so many depredations and having to go as far as McGregor, Iowa, on the Mississippi River for provisions and supplies. He again removed to Floyd Co., near Charles City where he was a time honored citizen, as everybody called him Uncle John Allison.
     He was an untiring and zealous worker for the Glory of God and good of his fellow beings. Ever abounding in the love and faith of Jesus. Was a conscientious and unflinching laborer in the Lords vineyard as a class leader and Sunday School Superintendent of United Brethren faith. He passed away praising his master as he awaited his last moments to come.
     In the 1860's he took the Pikes Peak gold fever, and he in company with a Joseph Johnson, now deceased, and Frank Ripley, now of California, and Mortimer Cutler, now of Cherokee County made the trip with ox teams across the plains, stopped at Denver, Colorado. He was one of the foremost prospectors and stockholders in starting irrigation ditch north of Denver, which is now an extensive and far reaching means of successfully tilling that valley. Afterwards came back to Floyd County, and lived in the vicinity of Charles City until 93 when he removed to Hancock County, 9 miles northwest of Britt, where he lived until he laid his armor at Jesus feet.

[Note: John W. Allison was a son of Thomas and Nancy (Carter) Allison, and grandson of John and Mary (Lahr) Carter. Amaretta Ripley was a daughter of David C. and Easter (Griswold) Ripley, and granddaughter of Joshua and Rhoda Ripley. Burial in Orthel Twp. Cemetery, Hancock Co., Iowa.]

There is a Thomas G. Angel in the 1900 Gallia Co., census living with parents Henry and Annie, but he's about four years too old (b. 1881), a soldier, and born in WV whereas my Thomas Angel, according to the 1910 census records when he was was living with Josie, was born in Ohio abt 1885.]
