John Irving Wall attended the University of Wisconsin and appears in a group photo of SAE (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) fraternity in the 1921 school yearbook, "The Badger". Both he and his brother Arthur appear in this group photo. One is a member of the sophomore class (Arthur), the other is a junior (John). He pledged SAE in the 1916 yearbook.
1930 US Census shows John working as a field assistant in an insurance company. He has a wife Mary M., born Illinois about 1897, and a daughter, Mary E. Wall (age 2) and a son, John C. (a little over one year of age). They are living in Chicago, Cook County.
