Arvilla "May" Allison was born about 1865 in West Virginia.[1] She was the daughter of David Allison.
Various sources spell her first name as "Arvilla" or "Ivilla". Her marriage certificate spells it "Arvilla" so that's what I am using as official first name. Find a Grave does not include a photo of her gravestone.
