The people of L'Anse were
shocked Sunday to learn of the
death OF Malcolm Wallace, a former

CURED at his home in Houghton
about 80 o'clock Sunday morning,
and many could hardly realize that
the sad news was true.
1t appears that Mr.. Wallace re-
tired about 11:3O o'clock Saturday
evening enjoying the best Of health,
but shortly afterward he suffered q
stroke of apoplexy. Drs. Turner
and Jackson were Immediately sum-
moned and remained with him until
after / o'clock, when he suffered
another stroke, from the effects of
which be died at 1:30 q. m.
Malcolm Wallace was former
resident of L'Anse, but removed
with his family to Houghton few
years ago. He was one Of the mem
bers of the firm of Wallace, Byers
& Saxby, who conducted a livery
business at Houghton in the same
stand where Mr.. Wallace was still
doing business. Later the firm dis
solved partnership, Mr.. Wallace
buying up the business and con-
Quoting it alone for over two years.
He was a member of the Elks, Odd
Fellows, K. of p, Maccabees, 40. U.
w. and Modern Woodmen lodges. OF
the last three named orders Mr..
Wallace was member of the lodges
in L L'Anse, and carried insurance
policies in them aggregating $1,000.
Deceased was a native of Canada,
having been born at Brussels in
1857. He was married in 1879 to
Miss Sarah Armstrong, and removed
to L'Anse, where he resided for
fifteen years. He conducted livery
business here for several years, and
was one of the heaviest losers in the
L'Anse FIRE six years ago. He re-
built the Wallace block, and re-
established the livery business, dis
posing of the latter to Louis Menard
in 1898, when he removed to Hough-
| ton.
The funeral was held from the
residedce in Houghton Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock, and was very
impressive. The large and profuse
floral display attested to the popu-
larity and high esteem in which the
deceased was held. The home was
inadequate to accommodate all OF the
friends. The services were con-
Quoted by Hancock lodge. Of Elks, OF
which the deceased was a member.
Rev. Edwin Moore, Jr., of Hancock,
paid tribute to the deceased which
was most beautiful. A large funeral
cortege escorted the remains to the
place OF sepulcher at Forest Hill
cemetery, Houghton. The Quincy
band headed the line, followed by
about fifty members of Pilgrim
lodge, l. o. o. F., of which the
deceased was a charter member, and
then came the Elks. The pail
bearers were members of the Elks
order. The floral offerings were
very beautiful. The four L'Anse
societies-the Knights of Pythias,
Ancient Order of United Workmen,
the Maccabees and Woodmen-oi
which deceased was member, sent
a very large piece with the emblems
OF the different lodges in the corners
and "L'Anse" worked in the center.
The Odd Fellows and the Elks also
sent some handsome offerings, as
we'll as number Of pieces from
friends in this village and in other
towns.
