DR. G. S. ALLISON.  The subject of our sketch was born in Pike county, 
Missouri, July 22, 1848.  He married Maria Jackson, of Kentucky.  Both 
parents died in Missouri.  Dr. Allison attended the schools of his 
native county, and secured the rudimentary principles of an education, 
which he improved by three years' study in the Academy at Abington, 
Illinois, where he took a general and classical course.  He determined 
to adopt the profession of medicine as the business of is life.  With 
this idea in view, he read the standard text-books upon medicine, in the 
office and under the direction of Dr. W. C. Duncan of Pike county, Mo.  
He remained with Dr. Duncan four years, and then entered the St. Louis 
Medical College and remained two years, and graduated from that 
institution with the degree of M. D., March, 1871.  He commenced the 
practice in his native county, and two years later came to Mt. Zion, 
Macon county, where he has continued the practice with good success to 
present.  Dr. Allison belongs to the progressive school of physicians.  
He is a member of the County Medical Society, and at present is 
president of that body.  On the 2d of May, 1876, he was united in 
marriage to Miss Ellen E., daughter of Prof. William Mariner, formerly 
of Lincoln University, Lincoln, Illinois.  One child, named Ida, is the 
fruit of this happy union.  Dr. Allison is a respected member of the 
order of A.F. & A.M., and I.O.O.F.
