Another Name is Stricken from the Ever Lessening Roll of Kansas Pioneers:
Thomas Wallace died at his home in Atwood, Kansas, Wednesday May 20th, 1914, at 8 o’clock P.M. Aged 75 years, 10 months and 4 days.
Thomas Wallace was born at Brantford in Brant county, Province of Ontario, Canada, on July 16th 1839, where he grew to manhood. In October 1866 he came to Manhattan, Kansas. In 1867, two years after Dexter Brothers founded Clay Center, he came there and bought a quarter section of land, eight miles west of Clay Center on the Five Creeks, from John and Lon Dexter. One mile north of this place, Idana is now located.
On June 1st, 1869 he was married to Evelin Stewart who survives him. To this union eleven children were born, seven of whom live to cherish the memory of a fond and indulgent father: Mary M. Wallace, Mrs. Mable Turner, William Wallace, Walter Wallace, Ernest Wallace and Floyd V. Wallace, all of Atwood and Mrs. Clara Barlow of Seattle, Washington.
Shortly after his marriage Mr. Wallace took a government homestead, adjoining the land which he had bought from Dexter Brothers, and on which he resided until 1888, when he sold his place and in December of that year moved with his family to Atwood, where he has since resided.
Thomas Wallace was a man of good habits and good character. He was always industrious and a hard working man and continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits until long past the age at which men generally drop out of the ranks of the workers. To this end, there is no doubt, that his sunshiny disposition contributed. He was a man of generous impulses and never forgot the hospitable ways of the pioneer. The stranger, even though a beggar, never failed to find food and shelter if he sought it at the hands of Mr. Wallace. The writer has known Thomas Wallace for 43 years, and when he owned one of the best farms on Five Creeks, which is today worth $150.00 per acre, he enjoyed prosperity quietly, and he has since borne adversity bravely.
In the early days of Rawlins county Mr. Wallace took an active part in politics being a delegate to many conventions and at one time representing the county in the Democratic state convention. He built a home and did his part towards developing the county. He has filled the various relations in life of son, husband, father and friend and filled them well, but he is gone, and a solitary woman and a lonely home are left to attest how sadly they will miss him, but it must be so. Those tender human ties cannot be severed without a pang, yet in such a death there is no cause for grief. His life’s work was done and well done and he lay down to rest. The stern reaper found him as the header finds the golden wheat, fully ripe for the harvest.
The funeral services were held from the home Friday afternoon the services being conducted by Rev. A. D. Rice, and interment made in the Atwood Cemetery.
A host of friends extend heartfelt sympathy to the grief stricken wife and children.
