WALLACE "Among the worthy citizens of Linn county that death has claimed within recent years was David R. Wallace, a man whose many good qualities won him the kindly regard and enduring friendship of those with whom he came in contact. He was born in Ross county, Ohio, November 3, 1833, a son of James and Hannah Wallace who in the early '40s arrived in Iowa where they purchased a farm upon which they made their home throughout their remaining days. In early life, after acquiring a common school education, David R. Wallace learned the tinner's trade and for several years was engaged in the hardware business in Marion, being numbered among the representative merchants at the county seat. At length he retired from commercial pursuits and in January, 1882, moved to the old family homestead of one hundred and eighty-one acres, situated on section 25, Marion township. With resolute purpose and indefatigable energy he took up the task of cultivating the land and adding to its improvements. His labors wrought a marked transformation in the appearance of tin- place which became one of the highly developed farms of the locality. As a companion and helpmate through life's journey. .Mr. Wallace chose Miss Elsie Hayzlett, whom he wedded on the 28th of November, 1877. She was born in Linn county, Iowa, near Mt. Vernon, February 20, 1853, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Williams) Hayzlett, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Indiana.... Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have one child, Carl D., who was born November 13, 1883, and now operates the home farm. He married Bessie Howe, also a native of this county and their union has been blessed with one son, Donald R. Carl D. Wallace and his mother are the owners of the old homestead property which he is carefully operating. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and in this respect he follows in the footsteps of his father who was an earnest advocate of republican principles but was never an office seeker. Mr. Wallace was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church to which his wife and son also belong. He died April 8, 1909, his life record having covered more than seventy-five years. His was a life of usefulness characterized by unassailable integrity and devotion to all that he believed to be just and honorable between himself and his fellowmen. From early childhood he lived in this county so that his history was well known to his fellow townsmen. He could relate interesting incidents of the early days when this was a frontier district before Cedar Rapids had been founded. While Indians frequently visited the neighborhood, they did not manifest any hostility, however, but were friendly to the early settlers. Much wild game was to be had at that time, deer being frequently seen on the prairie, while feathered game could be had in abundance. As the years passed Mr. Wallace rejoiced in what was accomplished as the work of civilization was carried forward and at all times gave his support to the measures and movements which he believed would prove helpful to the community." From "A History of Linn County, Iowa, containing a History of the County, Its Cities, Towns, &c...." 1878 p.635 "David Wallace of Marion City: hardware merchant; born in Buckskin Tp., Ross Co., Ohio, in 1833; came to Marion in Oct. 1848; engaged in farming pursuits until 1853, when he engaged in present business; he was Town Councilman several years. Married Elsie Hayzlett in November, 1877; she was born in Mt. Vernon, this county. They are members of the Presbyterian Church." above info was provided by Sara Patton (#47790572)
