*Obituary (as written)
Fayetteville Democrat
Thursday, October 22, 1885
ALLISON, Martha J. - Died at the family residence in Washington county, Ark. Sept. 25th, 1885, Mrs. Martha J. Allison, wife of T.P. Allison, Esq. Mrs. Allison was a native of York county, South Carolina but for many years past has resided in Arkansas. A child of the covenant and trained up in the virtue and admonition of the Lord. She early gave her heart to the saviour and connected herself with the Presbyterian church, to whose doctrines and order she was intelligently and firmly attached. She was a warmhearted, active and earnest christian and her life was a beautiful and effective testimony to the power and preciousness of the gospel. In her domestic relations she was peculiarly happy, endowed by nature with a fine mind, a warm heart and a bright and amiable disposition and by Grace with many of the noblest graces of the christian character she was the light of her husband's eyes, and the wise, fond and tenderly loved mother of a large and interesting family. The church, of which she was an honored and useful member, and a wide circle of friends mourn with her stricken and bereaved family over what appears to us her untimely death. A Friend.
