General Notes: Husband - John Harper Wallace

---

He resided on a farm of 163 acres, which was situated in Canton Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, adjoining the corporation limits of Washington. He was president of the Dunbar-Wallace Company, of Washington, and president of the Crafton Builders' Supply Company, of Crafton.
He was afforded excellent educational advantages in his youth, receiving academic training in several well known institutions. In 1889 he purchased a farm in Canton Township and made it his home thereafter. He took an interest in fine stock, particularly horses, and was credited with having one of the best driving teams in the county.

His father was a good and a just man, but he was a dear lover of peace at home, and oftentimes he was compelled to sacrifice justice in order to secure peace. His only heirs were a son and a daughter, and the relations between them were not always agreeable. His will divided the old homestead into equal shares, in acreage, between them, with all the buildings on the daughter's side of the line; then under the provisions of the will, in practice if not in form, both shares, for an indefinite period, came under the control of the daughter, and she received every penny of the products for twelve years. Understanding the situation in all its causes and its bearings, a kinsman stepped in and bought a beautiful farm in the suburbs of Washington, Pennsylvania, erected upon it commodious and handsome buildings, paying cash for everything, and delivered John Harper and his family from a life of servitude.
