Biography

OBIT: ODE WALLACE PASSES AWAY Ode Wallace aged 86 died Monday evening March 25th at 5 O'Clock of a complication of diseases after an illness of only three days. He was first stricken with acute indigestion and then pneumonia, which caused his death. Mr. Wallace was the oldest citizen of our town, having came here from Virginia when but two years of age and settling in this county he has since made it his home. His wife, who still survives him, is 83 years of age, and there was born to this union nine children, three of whom are living, Beldon and J.E. Wallace and Mrs. Lucy Brammer, all of this place. He had been a member of the Baptist Church for many years, at all times and under all circumstances he walked in the well beaten path of righteousness and when fully conscious that he was nearing the last of earth, he appeared to be fully impressed with the idea that at the end of time eternity began and that the bright faith which sustained him during those trying hours of suffering would only grow brighter as he journeyed toward the infinite and the final gloom of death be dispelled by the guidence of God's love. Could all live the just and upright life Uncle Ode Wallace lived, and die in his trusting faith, death could no longer be called "The King of Terror" for he inspired no terror there. The dying man and sorrowing family looked forward with the same faith to the brighter future where this temporary separation would end in an eternal reunion
