Son of Matthew and Betsy (Macintosh) Wallace.
From the "Fitchburg Sentinel," 23 Nov 1901:
Death of David Wallace.
David Wallace died at his residence, 27 Cottage square, on Saturday, at 8 p.m. His health was impeded by an attack of the grip, last year, from the effects of which he did not recover.
Mr. Wallace was born at Brookline, N. H., Aug. 15, 1814. His early life, after leaving Brookline, was spent at Lunenburg, where he learned the carpenter's trade, and at Clinton, where he resided for many years and carried on an extensive business as contracztor and builder.
He erected the Unitarian, Baptist and Orthodox churches at Clinton, and also did considerable work on the carpet mills.
He came to Fitchburg in 1862, and for a short time, assisted his brother, the late Waldo Wallace, in his store at the corner of Main and Laurel streets, and later was for several years, pattern-maker for the Fitchburg Foundry company, in which his brother was largely interested. Since leaving the foundry he has worked principally at cabinet making and, being an excellent workman, he has been frequently called to do work requiring a high degree of skill.
He was a quiet, modest man, a very estimable citizen, and he leaves the record of an honorable life.
Mr. Wallace was twice married. His first wife, the mother of his children, died at Clinton in 1862. His second wife survives him. He also leaves two sons -- Postmaster Charles E. and George W. Wallace -- and four daughters -- Mrs. Gen. Henry Bowman of Idaho Springs, Col., Mrs. F. C. Gill and Mrs. H. A. Stoddard of Rockford, Ill., and Miss Josie C. Wallace of this city.
