The marriage of John Lewis Wallace to Arnalia (or Arnelia) Smith was given as 31 Mar 1894, but that is 7 years after John died. In fact the marriage on that date is between Nellie Wallace and John Deaton. John Wallace and Nalia Smith are mentioned in the record as the bride's parents. John and Nalia were married about 1876, before the birth of their daughter, Melcina. [1]
