JAMES ALLAN,
one of Poland township's most substantial agriculturists and highly
respected citizens, who resides on a fine farm of 139 acres located
in section 28, was born on a farm in Scotland, Nov. 5, 1849, and is
a son of John and Margaret (Duncan) Allan, who were prosperous
farmers of that county.
James Allan was reared on his father's farm, and
at maturity he married Jennie Ferguson, a daughter of
Peter and Margaret (Doick) Ferguson, after which he engaged in
farming in his native country until 1882, when he brought his family
to America and settled at Struthers, Ohio. He soon found
employment in the agricultural regions and spent the first seven
years in Mahoning County, working for Walker Kennedy,
after which he worked an adjoining farm belonging to Mrs. Goodhue,
for two years on shares. He next located on the James Pence
farm in Poland Center, for eight years, after which he took charge
of a farm in Boardman township, for Mrs. Samuel Hines.
This farm was about one mile west of Poland and was in a very poor
condition, yielding a very small crop the first year, but through
his excellent management it was placed in a good state of
cultivation, and he remained there for eight years. In 1903,
Mr. Allen purchased his present farm from James McCollough,
which was originally the old Hugh Dobbins farm.
Mr. and Mrs. Allan have six children, there of
whom were born in Scotland, and three in this country: John;
Jeanette, who married Alfred Flowers of Poland township,
has two children, Burt and Marjory; Maggie, who lives
at home; James, Jr.; Rachel, who lives at home; and Peter,
who is a student in the Poland Union School. Mr. Alban's
two sons, John and James, make a specialty of raising
Shropshire sheep. Mr. Allan is a member of the U. P.
Church at Struthers.

E. E.
ALLISON, justice of the peace and notary
public, at Beloit, has engaged also in an insurance business since
1889, when he left his farm in Smith township and established
himself in this town. Mr. Allison was born in
Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, June 14, 1841, and is a son of
John and Charlotte (Stewart) Allison. On the maternal
side, Mr. Allison comes of New England ancestry, one
of his grand fathers bringing his family from Connecticut, with an
ox-team, and settling near Haselton, in Mahoning County, on what is
known as the old Fitch farm, on which the mother of
E. E. Allison was reared. John Allison, who
was a native of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and a farmer by
occupation, died when his son, the subject of this sketch, was 12
years old but the latter continued at school until he was 16 years
of age and then took charge of the home farm in Lawrence County, for
his mother. Here he continued until 1872, when he came to
Mahoning County, settling in Smith township on a farm, a part of
which is now the site of the village of Sebring. There he
carried on a full line of agricultural operations until, as above
stated, he came to Beloit.
Mr. Allison was married (first) in1863, to
Mary Cole, of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He was married
(second) in1897, to Martha Antrim, who was born in Stark
County, Ohio, and is a daughter of William Antrim, one of the
early Pennsylvania settlers in Stark County.
In politics, Mr. Allison is a Republican, with
Prohibition leanings. His sterling character as a man and
citizen has been generally recognized by his community and he has
been elected to a number of responsible positions. He has
served one term as mayor of Beloit, is a notary and justice of the
peace, and for nearly a quarter of a century he has been secretary
of the Smith Township Aid Society. He is a very active member
of the United Presbyterian Church, at Sebring, Ohio, of which he is
one of the founders and an elder, and has always been interested in
the work of the Sunday-school.
