Capt. Mallard was born in Walker County, Alabama on April 17th,
1826 and in 1846, with his parents, moved to Athens, Texas,
and the following year moved to Cherokee County, where
they settled and the parents remained until their death. Early
in the fifties, Capt. Mallard went to Dallas, Texas, and engaged
in mercantile business, and during his residence there, in 1856,
was married to Miss Elizabeth Knight, who, together with five
sons and two daughters, survived him.
When the War between the States broke out, Capt. Mallard
moved to Cherokee County, Alabama, and enlisted in the
Confederate army. He was made quartermaster of Burford's
Regiment, in which capacity he served through the war. Returning
to Texas, he settled in Rusk, and engaged again in mercantile
business, which he continued until the time of his death,
October 2, 1903. He was laid to rest in the Rusk cemetery, after
appropriate services at the Methodist Church, of which he had
been a steward for more than a quarter of a century, the last
rites being conducted at the grave by the Masons, of which
fraternity lie was a member.
The Masonic Lodge of Rusk adopted resolutions from which
the following is given: "Brother Mallard was an honest, upright citizen,
a safe and conservative business man, a consistent member of the
Methodist Church for many years, and a brave, loyal soldier of the
Confederacy. He was a good and true Mason, and a member
of Euclid Lodge and Cherokee Chapter for more than forty
years, having served as Principal Sojourner in the Chapter
until he became too feeble to attend our meetings. Therefore
be it "Resolved, That in the death of Brother Mallard this lodge
has lost one of its oldest and most venerated members,
Masonry has lost one of its most earnest and zealous advocates, the
State an honored and useful citizen and patriot, the Church a
consistent and active member, and his family a faithful,
indulgent, and affectionate husband and father."
