B.M. Allison, proprietor of the Model Flouring mills, of Wellsville, was born near Pughtown, Hancock county, W. Va., December 27, 1850, and is the son of Enoch and Mary (Bartley) Allison, natives of West Virginia and Ireland, respectively. His paternal grandfather was Burgess Allison, a native of Maryland, who settled in Hancock, W.Va., in the year 1800. His maternal grandfather was Andrew Bartley, who came from Ireland in an early day, and was also one of the pioneers of the above county and state. B. M. Allison was reared upon a farm and early engaged in the milling business at Wellsville, Ohio, where, as proprietor of the Model mill at Wellsville, which from its peculiar construction and unique design, is doubtless the most complete mill of its kind in the United States if not in the world. It is a four story structure, 24 x 40 feet in dimensions, and is built in sections so as to be easily taken apart and transported to a distance if necessary. It is supplied with the Smith Brothers' machinery for the manufacture of flour by the latest improved process, has a capacity of seventy - five barrels per day, and is pronounced by connoisseurs to be as nearly perfect as it is possible to construct a mill of its kind. It has been exhibited at Jackson, Mich., Buffalo, N. Y., Cincinnati, Ohio;, and other places, and can be constructed and in full operation at any Mace in three days. Mr. Allison is to be congratulated upon his success as a manufacturer of flour and his mill is certainly a very valuable addition to the town of Wellsville. Mr. Allison was married in 1875 to Mary A. Bunting, of Wellsville, who has borne him two children, a boy and girl, Harry G. and Mary E.
