"On Sunday last an in memoriam service was held in the Lower Barrington Methodist Church in connection with the death of Robert Allison, who passed away early in August. Rev. O. Harris, who was preacher, referred to the sterling qualities of the deceased, and gave a brief record of his life. He was born in Tarleton in 1856. When 7 years of age the family moved to Don, and later took up land at Melrose, from which place Mr. Allison came to Lower Barrington.
He married thirty years ago Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late Charles Duke, of New Ground, and there were four sons, Robert, who, died in infancy and Gordon (Melrose), Maurice and Earl. The late Mr. Allison was, continued the preacher, converted to God at the age of 38. He was won for Christ under the influence of the Salvation Army, and remained faithfully to his Lord and Master. Soon after his conversion, Mr. Allison joined the Methodist Church of Melrose and Lower Barrington; he held the office of steward in this church, since the ministry of Rev. P. Watsford in this circuit. Continuing, the preacher said: "Mr. Allison's life and profession were characterized by sincerity and faithfulness. He was one of the great hosts of Christian men who offered unto God the sacrifice well pleasing in His sight, a humble spirit and a contrite heart. We believe that the Lord whom he loved and served will not leave him in distress and loneliness, nor suffer his loved one to be confounded. We mourn the loss of a faithful brother departed from us; we confidently leave him to the God of mercy and faithfulness, knowing that all is well. To the bereaved widow we offer our prayerful sympathy, that the presence of God may be her stay and comfort. To the sons who mourn a father that they too may faithfully serve the Lord who is God, and that the example of a Godly father may ever be before them to strengthen for the battle of life."
