Biography

"Mr. Allis always resided with his parents and was the best equipped business man that we had in town. They had a large and well managed farm consisting of fine meadow land aside from much outside land. He entered into several different manufacturing operations, was a director in the Con and the Hampshire county banks, also in an insurance company, was a warm friend and companion of Gen. James S. Whitney, dying just at the time when his plans were about maturing. Politically he was associated with the democrats, was a candidate for Representative to congress, delegate to revise the constitution of Massachusetts and a close friend of Gov. George S. Boutwell. He fought shy of town offices. His death was a loss to our town that all felt and realized. He left a handsome property. __________________________________ Source: History of the Town of Whately, Mass. p. 361-3"
