General Notes: Husband - Robert Wallace


He continued to live under the shelter of the parental roof, assisting his father in his agricultural labors, until his marriage. After his marriage, he continued to live on the old homestead until 1870, when he bought a farm, which had been the old Young homestead, but had changed hands after David Young's decease. On this farm he then lived, making many improvements. He built a handsome three-story barn 40x66 and a carriage house. He had twenty acres of fruit orchards, planted to standard varieties of apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, etc., raising as high as 1,300 bushels of peaches of the best varieties in one year. He also had a fine dairy. Besides the Young homestead on which he lived, he owned his father's old homestead.
Mr. Wallace in his political views was a Populist, and was pronounced and decided in his opinions. He was a school director for twenty-five years. All the family were members of the Presbyterian Church.
