ID THF LATE MRS. ALLISON !.
The southwest Virginia Enterprise
Of Wytheville on Tuesday contain
! ed the Following.
On; the morning Of the twenty-tirst
of=Aagust, Laura Stanley Alison
from heT beautiful summer home IN
Wytheviile, Virginia, breathed her
last on This earth.
She55was the beloved only daughter
of Capt. land Mrs. B. F. Stanley born
to them Swhile living in Montgomery
county, Va. The family moved TO
Wytheville when their daughter was
quite Young. Here, with love and de-
votion given her in unstinted mea-
sure by parents, grand mother, bro
4her and all her dear ones, sur
rounded by hosts of admiring friends
her happy girlhood was spent. Early
:, life her Saviour claimed her heart.
From this time on her faith and
conservation were unWaverlng. she
was most active and efficient in her
Masters service. always ready
cheerfully to do any Christian work.
In February, 1888, she was happily
married to Rev. John Lee Allison,
D. D., now pastor of Presbyterian
church, Alexandria, Virginia, for
merlv pastor successfully OF the FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN church, of Portsmouth,
Virginia: Westminster church, Balt!-
more, Md, and Gunton Temple Mem
orial church, Washington, d. 7. In
all these cities, DR.. and Mrs. Allison
made many lasting friendships. -Four
daughters and one son were gwen
them: Martha Lee, Laura Mcclure
Lillian Guthrie, MRS. Frank Moses
Elizabeth and John Lee Stanley
When only little boy, just fourteen
months old, our loving Lord took the
precious son to Heaven. This sepa-
ration almost broke the parents
hearts, Mrs. Allison's health becom-
ing seriously impaired from her
great grief. BY the blessong of God
and the healing touch of time, she
was almost restored when the second
crushing blow came in the death OF
their darling youngest daughter,
Elizabeth. AS Mrs, Allison expressed
herself at this time, 81 loved my
children more than most mothers.
This great love made this added
heavy trial more than the tender
mothers. frail body could endure
Her strength was broken, and al,
though she has brave(y battled OF
for the :past ten years trying to bea.
her sorrows with all the fortituds
at her command for the sake of he1
beloved husband and dear children
and parents; she gradually became
weaker. Just few days before the
call came from her Lord, she sur
fered an attack of paralysis of the
nerves which Moosed the silver cord
and freed her gentle spirit to jolr
the loved ones gone before and re
turn unto God who gave it.
