Citizen-Patriot, October 19, 1944, Obituary-Walter Wallace:
Shortly after noon on Monday, October 9th, Walter Wallace at his ranch in the southwest part of the county, was stricken with a heart attack. Mrs. Wallace got him in their car and hastened to the Colby hospital. When arriving there she opened the car door to assist him, when he fell over in her arms and passed away before medical aid could arrive.
For several months Walter had been in poor health attributed to heart trouble and times has been in the Colby hospital and Denver hospitals for treatment.
Walter Wallace was born near Idana in Clay County, Kansas on January 12, 1877. His father was born in Canada and his mother in Pennsylvania. In the early seventies they came to Kansas and homesteaded in Clay county, Kansas. In the early nineties the family moved to Atwood, where they made their future home, and Walter grew to manhood.
On April 12th, 1895 to Miss Belle Packard he was united in marriage. To this union five children were born, four who are living, two sons, Kenneth of Oakridge, Tenn., and Keith of Denver, Colo., and two daughters, Mrs. Leora Ellis of Alva, Okla., and Mrs. Audrey Kay of Denver.
Mrs. Wallace departed this life in 1926.
On March 7, 1928 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Flora Curry of this city, who by her former marriage had two sons, Everett who lives on his farm in Mirage township, Howard, who is with the armed forces in Belgium, and one daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Littman of San Francisco.
All the children with the exception of Howard, are here to share with their mother the loss of a loving and devoted husband and a kind indulgent and considerate father.
He is survived by two brothers, E.E. Wallace of Lyman, Colo., and Floyd Wallace of Tonganoxie, Kansas, and one sister, Mrs. Mabel Turner of Denver, Colo. Floyd and Mrs. Turner are here for the last sad rites for a loving brother.
For many years Walter Wallace was engaged as a contractor, doing bridge, road and city improvement work throughout northwestern Kansas. Much of the paving and street improvement work in Atwood was done by him. He gave employment to a large number of men and was always considerate of their interest.
In later years he has been engaged in large scale farming and in raising and feeding cattle and hogs on his ranch in the southwestern part of this county.
He was a worker and a leader and so ambitious. He always led the way with his men and was cheerful and pleasant. He has borne adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He was a man of generous impulses and in the days when men were seeking work and needed help. Walt would always find a place for them. The stranger never failed to find food and shelter if he sought at his hands.
His life was spent in Atwood and Rawlins county and he took great interest in every enterprise which was for the betterment of Atwood and the community.
All along life’s pathway he scattered sunshine and by his pleasant smile and cheerful ways made lasting friendships wherever he went.
He had filed the various relations of his life as son, husband, father, brother, neighbor and friends and filled them well. Who can do more?
The writer knew him well. Our paths were close together for so many years. As boyhood chums we rode the hills and creeks together. We were playmates and schoolmates, the closest neighbors and in later years business associates. Today we sadly miss his kindly smile and cheerful greeting, but we have sweet memories of all our associations.
The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church last Sunday afternoon by Rev. Maurice E. Rickard and the floral offerings attested the loyal friendships Walt enjoyed. Interment was made in the Atwood cemetery.
