  Witness-Obituary	4 May 1910  [5]
  	Mr. James Wallace, father of Reeve Henry Wallace of Middleton, one of the old settlers of that township, died on Friday, April 22nd, at Wyecombe, in the 86th year of his age. He was ill but a few days and death was the result of the physical functions having run their life course, leaving the spirit in its freedom to pursue its destiny elsewhere. His suffering was of short duration and its end the sleep of peace. James Wallace was born near Whitfield, in the County of Armagh, Ireland, on July 10th, 1824, and when nine years of age his father emigrated from Ireland to Canada, settling in the County of Halton. When 24 years of age, young Wallace came west and was satisfied in the selection of the old homestead location in Middleton, which his sons Henry, since his father retired from his industry and toil and settled in Wyecombe for a well earned rest, has continued to make more promising for profit. In 1853 Mr. Wallace went back on a visit to Ireland and on the ocean on his return fell into a friendship with Miss Jane Simpson, coming out to Canada also, which ended in a marriage settlement for both on young Wallace's farm in Middleton. Four children were born from this union, two of whom, Henry and James, survive the death of two sisters, and also the death of their mother in 1861. The second home companion of Mr. Wallace was Miss Ann Mabee, who died, leaving two sons and two daughters, three of whom are living in the Western States, the remaining one, Mary, being married to Mr. Colin Blake, of Lyon's Corners, Elgin County. In May, 1890, Mr. Wallace united in marriage with Miss Susannah Brown, of Malahide, who survives his companionship in a lonely widowhood. Politically, Mr. Wallace was a life long Conservative, and in the early times when partyism ran high with much feeling and a chip on the shoulder, he was not one to let a cause drop for want of support. He was for sixty-five years an enthusiastic Irish Orangeman, and in religion an adherent of the Methodist communion. The funeral services took place on Sunday, April 24th, at Wyecombe, the Rev. Mr. McArthur, of Lynedoch, officiating, many life long friends and relatives attending in sad respect to this aged man's final departure
