In 1882 the family moved to Belmont St. in Indianapolis, IN where Allison had a small farm.

After Mary Ann died Allison lost the land around 1914. He and his daughter Ada Marie had a hard time surviving. At one time they lived in an abandoned box car. I found him listed as living with Leroy, his son in 1920.

Allison lived with his son LeRoy Hicks until he died.
