In Memoriam
On Sunday last an in memoriam service was held in the Lower Barrington Methodist Church in connection with the death of Robert Allison, who passed away early in August. Rev. O. Harris, who was preacher, referred to the sterling qualities of the deceased, and gave a brief record of his life. He was born in Tarleton in 1856. When 7 years of age the family moved to Don, and later took up land at Melrose, from which place Mr. Allison came to Lower Barrington. He married thirty years ago Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late Charles Duke, of New Ground, and there were four sons, Robert, who, died in infancy and Gordon (Melrose), Maurice and Earl. The late Mr. Allison was, continued the preacher, converted to God at the age of 38. He was won for Christ under the influence of the Salvation Army, and remained faithfully to his Lord and Master. Soon after his conversion, Mr. Allison joined the Methodist Church of Melrose and Lower Barrington; he held the office of steward in this church, since the ministry of Rev. P. Watsford in this circuit. Continuing, the preacher said: “Mr. Allison’s life and profession were characterized by sincerity and faithfulness. He was one of the great hosts of Christian men who offered unto God the sacrifice well pleasing in His sight, a humble spirit and a contrite heart. We believe that the Lord whom he loved and served will not leave him in distress and loneliness, nor suffer his loved one to be confounded. We mourn the loss of a faithful brother departed from us; we confidently leave him to the God of mercy and faithfulness, knowing that all is well. To the bereaved widow we offer our prayerful sympathy, that the presence of God may be her stay and comfort. To the sons who mourn a father that they too may faithfully serve the Lord who is God, and that the example of a Godly father may ever be before them to strengthen for the battle of life.

NEWS ITEM
Before the Full Court at Hobart, on Monday, William Edward Allison, of Lower Barrington, farmer, applied for a divorce from his wife, Emma Jane Allison (formerly Emma Bingham), on the ground of adultery with Charles Crack, also of Barrington and desertion. Mr. M. J. Clarke, instructed by Messrs. Clarke, Perkin and Dear (agents from Mr. R. M. Ritchie) appeared for the petitioner. There was no appearance of respondent of co-respondent. An affidavit of William Redgate was read, showing that he had driven the respondent and ex-respondent from Barrington to the Devonport railway station early in December. Petitioner deposed that Crack, who was lodging with him at the time, had been working for him and for others in Barrington on and off and noticed the respondent and co-respondent had became very intimate. She would take respondent's dinner down to him in the paddock where he was working. On one occasion petitioner followed his wife, and found her sitting in the paddock conversing with the co-respondent. He told them that must cease and for a short time afterwards the two did not appear to be so friendly. Later on, however, when petitioner returned home, he found his wife in bed and the co-respondent at her bedside. She endeavored to excuse herself by saying she was frightened to be alone. On a subsequent occasion, petitioner noticed further intimacy and thereupon asked Crack to clear out at an hour's notice, or he would have him locked up. His wife said she would go too. Crack left as requested and on the following day, while petitioner was away having a horse shed, his wife decamped and was driven by W. Redgate, with Crack, to Devonport. George Allison, petitioner's nephew, deposed to seeing Mrs. Allison and Crack at Invererfill (New Zealand). He called at the house where they were residing as "Mr. and Mrs. Back." Witness stopped with them for about an hour and on leaving served them with the petition and citation. The respondent made no response, but the co-respondent remarked he wished he was dead. The Court granted a decree, returnable in 6 months time.
The North West Post 17th September 1903
Before the Full Court, on Tuesday, Mr. A. T. Butler (agent for Mr. R. M. Ritchie, Latrobe) applied for a decree absolute in favor of the petitioner in a divorce suit, Allison V Allison and Crack. The application was granted. In September, W. E. Allison, Barrington applied for a divorce from his wife, on the ground of adultery with Charles Crack. A decree was then granted. G.

As the years roll on, dear mother,
We miss you more and more,
Morn and eve seems so lonely without you,
We think of your kind loving ways,
But your parting from us was a sad one,
That night when God stole you away,
So when our toiling days are ended,
Your sweet face we will see once again.

It is with great sorrow (writes our Melrose correspondent) that I chronicle the death of Miss Rose Allison, who, after a painful illness of six months, passed peacefully away on Thursday. A very large number of people followed the remains of the deceased to the Don cemetery on Sunday afternoon, where the Rev J. L. Cope conducted an impressive service. Very great sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents, who mourn the loss of one who, by her amiable and gentle disposition, had endeared herself to all she became acquainted with.

Farewell, our dearest sister, and must we really part?
Tis sad indeed to lose the one
we loved with all our hearts,
We think that in this earthly world
we’ll never meet again
To think of you, our sister dear,
for you were good and kind,
To think that you are dead and gone,
and we are left behind;
As we journey on through life,
we’ll always think of you,
The one we dearly loved, our sister good and true.
Inserted by her loving parents, brothers and sister, Melrose.
