Biography

Jasper was born in 1883. He passed away in 1970.

Father is Hamilton Allison, this was proven by DNA testing. Jasper and his brother John took the last name of his mother first husband after Hamilton Allison died.

Gravestone and Death Cert. both state birth year as 1883. This is not possible as Jasper father only married his mother in 1891. Most documents from the early 1900s Jasper states that his birth year was 1894-1895. I don't know why he changed his birth year in his later years of his life.
