Read More	In the very early days of Allison, a cemetery was started on a hill south and east of Allison at the site where the corn bins are now standing near the Allison Implement Shop. When the land for the present site was chosen, the graves were moved to the new site except for one. The unmoved grave was that of a person known to have died from smallpox and the grave was left untouched. The exact whereabouts of this grave and the name of the deceased is unknown. The Allison Cemetery was first incorporated on June 6, 1885. The land was bought from E.W. Koester for the sum of $325 and a deed to Lot Number 8 in the cemetery.. On May 17,1886, a motion was made by the town council to build a fence around the cemetery. Lots at that time were sectioned out into groups of eight graves each. Those serving on the town council at this time were W.H. Lathrop, Mayor, J.K. Winsett, L. Pharo, J.W. Davis, J.T. Diggens, G. Hazlet and C.W. Lewis, recorder. In 1903, a benevolent society under the leadership of Mrs. C. Craig appointed a cemetery committee and the work of draining and putting the ground in order was completed. A second addition was added to the cemetery to the east and north of the existing cemetery. At this time the lot size was changed to lots of four graves. A third addition was made in 1970. It is still called the new addition and is situated to the north. On Once again the size of the lots were changed and sectioned into eight graves to a lot. A set of four lots were set aside in the center of the new section for a flag pole. This cemetery is cared for by the sale of lots and a tax levy. Many beautiful evergreens were planted and these grace the well kept grounds. On Memorial Day of 1984, eighty-three flags were flown over the cemetery honoring veterans both living and deceased from the surrounding area who have served our country. This was a project of the Allison Amvet Auxilary. The Allison Cemetery pan be found in Section 31 of Jackson Township on Highway 14. After each name listed in the following pages is the letter L (lot) or NAL (new addition lot) and a number which will help those looking for a certain stone or lot.
