In addition to his love of God and family, “W.T.” had a passion for fishing, bird hunting, carpentry and Auburn football. Over the course of his life, William Truett Allison, affectionately known as “W.T.”, charted the course of his family’s life as a devout, Godly, Christian man. Beginning at a young age, “W.T.” lived a life full of a passion to do God’s work, accomplishment and integrity. Before meeting the love of his life Shelby, “W.T.” excelled as a student and athlete at Hamilton High School. After high school and prior to committing himself to doing the Lord’s work for the rest of his career, “W.T.” attended Auburn University where he studied Architecture. After working a couple of jobs including a stint at 3M, “W.T.” committed himself to the Lord’s work and became a full-time Minister in 1963 in Detroit, AL. After serving at Detroit Church of Christ for five years, “W.T.” and Shelby took their ministry to Sage Ave. Church of Christ in Mobile, AL. before returning to Hamilton, AL in 1970. As the Minister of the Hamilton Church of Christ, “W.T.” helped guide the congregation to new heights including building a new facility in 1982.
