Wallace - James T.

Source: Crawfordsville Review 4 Oct 1890
The sudden death of James T. Wallace on Friday morning caused a general surprise. He was taken sick last Saturday with erysipelas in the arm but later on it reached his brain from the effects of which he died.  Jim was as well known in this city and county as any resident we have, while he counted his friends by the score. James was one of the nine children of WK and Sarah A. Wallace and was born 38 years ago.  His living brothers and sisters are: WK Wallace; John H. Wallace, Mrs. Lucy Fry; Mrs. Kate Webster of Marion and Mrs. Alice Fitchey. Eleven years ago he married Miss Belle Young who with two very bright boys survive him. He has been in the drug business in this city nearly all his life, dividing the time between AW Binford and Lew Fisher and at his death was in the employ of the Smith & Myers Drug Co. The funeral will occur from the family residence on West Pike this afternoon at 2 o’clock.
