Wallace, in the 95th year of her age.
BY the death Of Mrs. Wallace, Il re-
markable and most interesting person has
passed from the midst of a large circle of
kindred and friends. Mrs. Wallace was
born February %, 1897. Her father, George
Carlyle, moved from Virginia to Wood
ford county, Kentucky, in 1850. Her
mother, Margaret Crochet, was the
daughter OF Alexander Crochet, n revolu-
tionary soldier, who gave his life for his
country. She was married in her 18th
year to Henry Wallace, a son of Judge
Cabel Wallace, OF Kentucky. Her early

of the Republic. She was married seven

Mrs. Wallace was n woman of sterling
qualities, and noted as much for her
piety, good sense, ~vlvacity and kindli-

current events was ever keen and active.
She delighted in company, especially that
of the young, though she was loyal to the
past, and fondly cherished her old friends.
Her kindred and friends for many years
were accustomed to celebrate her birthday
by personal visits when these were practi-

and affection. These birthday celebrations
greatly delighted her. They were always
marked in some way by religious eXer-
cises, and she used the occasions to give
thankful expression of her devotion tn
God, and her appreciation OF His countless
mercies. She had an extensive %acquain-
lance with the Holy Scripture, and COM
mitted to memory many devotional
HYMNS. These she often referred to, es-
pecially those which voiced her own eX-
highly priced by her, and to him they
were exceedingly pleasant and profitable.
She was full of pleasant chat about the
church, especially its spiritual progress;
ALWAYS anxious for the salvation of the
unsayed, md the religious welfare oi
Christians. Her prayer for these objects
were constant and fervent. For SOM

social and public services of religion, but
ALWAYS nuuired about these, the sermons
the attendance at church and Sunday
school; and to her pastor was accustomed
