Reporter January 9: MRS SALLY
WALLAcE-This venerable woman died
3lst Of December, 1901, at her home
near Pleasant Grove, church, at the
rarely attained age Of SO and a half
years. Thus has passed from earth
the last survivor in Chester county, of
children Of a soldier Of the Revolution.
Her death took place within one mile
Of the place of her birth. Mrs. Wal
lace was born July 49, 1903. She was
a daughter Of Captain Hugh Knox, a
valiant and distinguished soldier of
the Revolution. He was with General
Sumter in the brilliant but disastrous
battle of Fishing Creek; was also In
the battles of Rocky Mountain and
Hanging Rock After the war he was
prominent and honored In civil sta
tions. Mrs. Wallace was married In
1924 and began her married life few
months later in the house where her
entire subsequent life Of II years was
passed. Her husband dying at an early
age, the rearing and care Of five child
rem devolved upon the widowed moth
er. Of her it may be truly said that
she commanded hesSchildren and her
household after her." and that these
children rise up and call her blessed" D"
For three-quarters Of a century she
lived in the communion Of the Presby-
terian church. and by a life Of meek
ness and faith exemplified the lofty
principles of the Christianity which she
professed. AS has been stated in <
previous issue Of this paper, Mrs. Wal
lace lived under every administration
Of this government, except those of
Washington and the first Adams,
Funeral service was conducted jan
uary, 1, by Rev. c. G. Brown;
burial in the family plat at Pleas
ant Grove church. It may be men,
toned as a remarkable coincidence
that the death and burial Of Mrs Wal
lace occurred on the anniversary of
those of her brother, James N. Knox,
who died December 81, 1880, and was
hurled January l. 1881
