Mattison Wells Alderman was born in Alcolu, S. C., and lived there until he had finished the 8th grade in school. He left the home village to complete the last two years of his secondary education at Stony Brook Preparatory School, Stony Brook, Long Island, N. Y. It was during those two years that he decided on a profession in chemistry. The next eight years of his life were devoted to preparation for this work. He completed a bachelor's degree in chemistry at Davidson College in North Carolina in June 1935. His education continued without interruption, culminating in receipt of a Ph.D. in chemistry from University of Virginia in June 1939. It was there that he made Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi.
Shortly after receipt of his doctor's degree, he went to work for General Foods Corporation in their then new Central Laboratories in Hoboken, N. J. After two years there he was transferred to the Post Cereals Division of General Foods in Battle Creek, Mich. He continued in his career as a chemist until the spring of 1953. Upon his request and with the consent of the management, he was transferred to the marketing side of the business.
During his two years in the metropolitan New York area, he met Betty, daughter of Frank Henry Bury of Allentown, Pa., in which city Betty was born and married. At the time they met, however, she was working in the Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital in New York, she being a registered nurse. She was living in an apartment building adjacent to that in which Mattison was living and they were introduced by mail through a mutual friend who was still attending the University of Virginia. That was in the fall of 1939 and they were married a year later.
