Arthur D. Allison

Arthur D. Allison, 91, a lifelong resident of Antrim, New Hampshire, passed away with his family by his side on Saturday, March 7, 2026. Born on May 10, 1934, in Henniker, New Hampshire, to Hedley and Evelyn (Austin) Allison, Art served his country with distinction in the United States Marine Corps from 1953 to 1956 and then in the United States Air Force from 1956 to 1960. He remained deeply proud of his military service throughout his life and was a longtime member and past commander of American Legion Post 50 in Antrim for more than 50 years. He was also a charter member and past commander of the Granite State Marine Corps League 542 in Manchester.

Art was a dedicated member and past master of Harmony Lodge 38 and Eastern Star 14, both in Hillsborough, for over 50 years. He worked for many years as a print shop foreman at the Monadnock Ledger Transcript. On Friday and Saturday nights, he tended bar at the Hillsborough Legion hall for 28 years. Later in life, he and his wife Ann enjoyed spending winters in Santa Clarita, California, with their son and his family. Whether in New Hampshire or California, Art loved taking long walks and photographing interesting plants and flowers. He cherished the warmth of the sun and found simple pleasure in sitting outdoors on warm days.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Ann (Crowder) Allison of Antrim, whom he met while serving in England; his son Dean Allison and his wife Carla of Santa Clarita, California; his daughters Yvonne Gould and her husband Dwight of Hillsborough, New Hampshire, and Yvette Brinkley of Antrim; his grandchildren Justin Marin and his wife Arisa, Nathan Marin and his wife Cie, Sarah de Orlando and her husband Andrés, Cameron Marin, Rebekah Marin and her partner Benjamin Congdon, Christopher Brinkley, Colin Brinkley and his partner Michaela Griffin, Matthew Allison, and Andrew Allison; his great-grandchildren Annabelle, Giovanna, Julian, Barrett, Zain, and Ziyah; and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his brothers Theodore, Francis, and Robert Allison and his sister Leonna Bohannon.
