Dorothea Agnes Scott-Coward Allison was a pioneer woman who lived in Oyama. Born in England in 1878, she came to Canada in 1912, to visit a cousin, John Stokes. While visiting, she met Robert Allison, and the couple married on December 27th, 1913. She passed away February 17th, 1981 at the age of 103.
During Dorothea Scott-Coward Allison's lifetime she wrote a children's book, A Fairy's Garland of B.C. Flowers, which was illustrated by a local artist, Janet Middleton. During WWII, she compiled a book of poetry written by local settlers, The Songs of Kalamalka and was published in 1944. The book was sold to raise money for the Red Cross.
