From A Record of the Family of John Wallace by Josephine Wallace (1895):[1]
Stephen Wallace was born December 16th, 1818. He remained at home until the spring of 1843, when he went to Hendricks county, Indiana, and engaged in the nursery business with his cousin James Sigerson. In the winter of the same year the nursery was removed to Missouri, six miles south of St. Louis. He remained there until near the close of the year 1844. In June of that year occurred the great freshet of the Mississippi valley. After the water had receded, Stephen, with many others, contracted the disease known as "Mississippi shakes." He returned home early in the winter, where he died of bleeding at the nose January 16th, 1845.
