She worked for the Dale K. Allison Insurance Agency on Carolina Ave., Chester, WV, until she was in her 80s. Dale was her son.

From 1920 until 1951, she lived at 102 Railroad Street in Chester, WV. From 1951 until her death in 1978, she lived at 611 6th Street in Chester.

She told me at one time that she wasn't born on 01 November, but I don't remember what the real date was. Her birth record says 30 Nov, but she never celebrated her birthday on any other day but 01 November.
