Arthur D. Allison was a lifelong resident of Antrim, NH. He was born in Henniker, NH.  Art served in the United States Marine Corps from 1953 – 1956. He then went on to serve with the United States Air Force from 1956 – 1960. He was very proud of his service and his country and was a member and past commander of the Legion Post 50 in Antrim, NH for over 50 years. He was also a charter member and past commander of the Granite State Marine Corps League 542 based out of Manchester, NH.

Art was also a member and past master of Harmony Lodge 38 and Eastern Star 14, both in Hillsborough, NH, for over 50 years. He worked as a print shop foreman at the Monadnock Ledger Transcript for many years. Friday and Saturday nights, he worked as a bartender at the Hillsborough, NH legion hall for 28 years (And no, he wasn’t a black belt). Later in life, Art and his wife, Ann, enjoyed spending the winters in Santa Clarita, CA, with their son and his family. Whether here in NH or out in CA, Art enjoyed taking long walks and would take pictures of interesting plants or flowers he saw. He loved the heat and one of his favorite things to do was to sit in the hot sun.
