THEADORE W. WALLACE Funeral services were held in the Broken Bow Assembly of God Church for Theodore William Wallace, 90. He died on the 50th anniversary of the church that he was instrumental in founding, and is today the Broken Bow First Assembly of God. He was a deacon in the church for 40 years, and an honorary deacon the last few years. Wallace died Wednesday in Broken Bow Nursing Home after being in failing health for the last few years. Born in Texas on Mar 10, 1888, he was a retired sawmill employee with Dierks Lumber Company. He lived here most of his life, coming from Arkansas. Burial was in Broken Bow Cemetery, under direction of Norwood-Welch Funeral Home. Survivors include Wallace's wife, Hattie Kinard Wallace of Broken Bow; 3 sons, Billy Wallace of Portland, Oregon, Delmar Wallace & Charles "Choc" Wallace, both of Broken Bow, 3 daughters, Mrs. Audell Anderson & Mrs. Doris Alcorn, both of Broken Bow, & Mrs. Sue Anderson of Dallas, TX; no brothers or sisters; 12 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and two great great-grandchildren. Wallace in 1928 founded a church under some shade trees in the lot where the Norwood-Welch Funeral Home is now situated in Broken Bow. In 1929, the church became affiliated with the Assembly of God. The church was next moved to an old store building near Broken Bow Courts, then in 1932 moved to McClure Street where church men built a building little by little. In 1951 they built the present church on Broadway and Second, and moved in November, 1951. In all these building projects, Wallace was instrumental. He served as Sunday School superintendent for years. [McCurtain Gazette, Nov 12, 1978]
