General Notes: Husband - James McKelvey Wallace

---

He was born on the Conemaugh in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on the farm of his father. His opportunities for obtaining an education were meagre, as was the fact with all farmers' boys of that period in western Pennsylvania. In his boyhood he became a member of what later became known as the United Presbyterian Church, and he maintained a consistent Christian life ever afterward. He adopted farming and stock-raising as the pursuit of his life. As his children grew up it was his great desire to have them settled around him, and, with that view, at the close of the Civil War he moved westward and settled in Warren County, Iowa, in 1865.
