General Notes: Husband - James Wilbert Wallace

---

As a growing boy he became of so much use on the farm that he could not be spared to go to school. A friend, observing that he was so faithful in the discharge of his farm duties, took him away from the farm and sent him to school for a few terms, where he made great progress in his studies. When the family removed to the new home at Washington, Pennsylvania, he took a place in the Beaver Oil Refining Company as errand boy, but he was soon advanced to the position of book-keeper, and thus became an accountant and a first-class business man.

He was secretary and treasurer of the Dunbar & Wallace Lumber Company and of the Crafton Builders' Supply Company.
