General Notes: Husband - Thomas Freeman Wallace

---

He was educated at Eldersridge Academy and Jefferson College; he was a graduate of the Western Theological Seminary in 1860. Ordained to the ministry by the Presbytery of Blairsville in the Spring of 1861. Commissioned by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions and designated to the field of Bogata, United States of Columbia, South America. He entered immediately upon his work and continued there until 1877. The Board wished him to take up the Spanish work in Mexico, and he entered on this work in 1878 with headquarters at Zacatecas but his work extended over a wide district including several states. He was afterward entrusted with the general superintendence of the work in Northern Mexico, and had his home in Saltillo, where his son William and wife joined him. The later years of his missionary work in Mexico took him over widely scattered fields, on long journeys, visiting the churches, and counselling the native pastors. He gave much attention to the fostering of education among converts and preparing them for the ministry. He was deeply interested in the public welfare of the people. In Bogata, South America, he served for sometime as American Consul, and in Mexico his advice was often sought by leaders in government.
He was a missionary for forty-nine years continuous service, interrupted only by one brief illness, and closed by an attack of pneumonia caused by a cold contracted by a long horseback journey over his field. He was honored with the degree of D. D. by Washington and Jefferson College.
