• Obituary, 4 May 1910. ⁷⁵⁶⁹ Mr. James Wallace, father of Reeve Henry Wallace of Middleton,
one of the old settlers of that township, died on Friday, April
22nd, at Wyecombe, in the 86th year of his age.
He was ill but a few days and death was the result of the
physical functions having run their life course, leaving the
spirit in its freedom to pursue its destiny elsewhere. His
suffering was of short duration and its end the sleep of peace.
James Wallace was born near Whitfield, in the County of Armagh,
Ireland, on July 10th, 1824, and when nine years of age his
father emigrated from Ireland to Canada, settling in the County
of Halton.
When 24 years of age, young Wallace came west and was satisfied
in the selection of the old homestead location in Middleton,
which his sons Henry, since his father retired from his
industry and toil and settled in Wyecombe for a well earned
rest, has continued to make more promising for profit.
In 1853 Mr. Wallace went back on a visit to Ireland and on the
ocean on his return fell into a friendship with Miss Jane
Simpson, coming out to Canada also, which ended in a marriage
settlement for both on young Wallace's farm in Middleton.
Four children were born from this union, two of whom, Henry and
James, survive the death of two sisters, and also the death of
their mother in 1861.
The second home companion of Mr. Wallace was Miss Ann Mabee,
who died, leaving two sons and two daughters, three of whom are
living in the Western States, the remaining one, Mary, being
married to Mr. Colin Blake, of Lyon's Corners, Elgin County.
In May, 1890, Mr. Wallace united in marriage with Miss Susannah
Brown, of Malahide, who survives his companionship in a lonely
widowhood.
Politically, Mr. Wallace was a life long Conservative, and in
the early times when partyism ran high with much feeling and a
chip on the shoulder, he was not one to let a cause drop for
want of support.
He was for sixty-five years an enthusiastic Irish Orangeman,
and in religion an adherent of the Methodist communion. The
funeral services took place on Sunday, April 24th, at Wyecombe,
the Rev. Mr. McArthur, of Lynedoch, officiating, many life long
friends and relatives attending in sad respect to this aged
man's final departure
