• Notes

  WALLACE, WILLIAM THOMAS was born near Orangeville in 1880, and died in Waterloo on February 26, 1922. He married Margaret May McFall in 1910, and they had two daughters and a son. He was educated in the local schools and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1902. He then spent three years in postgraduate training in eye, ear, nose and throat in London, England, becoming a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, England. He began to practice in Berlin in November 1905, when the Orangeville Banner carried the announcement which was copied by the Daily Telegraph of November 24: Dr. W. T. Wallace, a medical practitioner of much promise, is spending a couple of weeks at his home here, before going to Berlin, Ont., where he has decided to open an office and devote himself to the treatment of diseases of the eye ear nose and throat. Dr. Wallace has just returned from London, England where he has been studying since he graduated from Toronto University, about three years ago. In addition to his diploma from Toronto University, he is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, of England. He was house surgeon in two important metropolitan hospitals and followed this with a term as junior assistant and then as senior assistant. Dr. Wallace possesses those qualities that win success and we predict a successful career in the profession of his choice. The Berliner Journal carried his card on January 24, 1906: Dr. W. T. Wallace M. B., M. R. C. S. Eng. has opened an office in Ahren's Block on Queen St. He has studied two years in England and treats eye, ear nose and throat. He had a successful practice, and the Daily Record said "His kindly and cheerful disposition endeared him to all and his death is a great loss to the community. In February 1922 he had a heart attack from which he appeared to be recovering until he had a second attack. He was survived by his widow, two daughters and a son, William B. who followed his father in the profession and became a specialist in otolaryngology, practise in Toronto. Dr. Alexander D. Campbell, Doctors in Waterloo County 1852-1925, 1986 _______________ SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. WALLACE Well Known Medical Specialist Dies Unexpectedly After Apparent Recovery from Severe Illness. The grim reaper of death has again laid its hand heavy on the medical fraternity and removed one of the Twin city popular physicians in the person of Dr William Wallace or the past two or three weeks the deceased was confined to his home in Waterloo suffering from an affection the heart At first his condition was critical but he gradually improved and on Saturday he was up and around. He was exceptionally cheerful on Saturday when he retired. It was a severe shock to his wife and family when he failed to arise on Sunday morning and was found to have died sometime during the night. The late Dr. Wallace was born near Orangeville and was in his 43rd year. About 15 years ago he removed to Kitchener and opened up a practise, being especially successful in the treatment of diseased of the eye, ear, nose and throst. His kindly and cheerful disposition endeared him to all and his death is a grat loss to the community. Two years ago he took up ressidence in Waterloo, retained however his office at Kitchener. In 1910 he married Miss Margaret May McFall and of this happy union three children were born, two daughters, Betty and Mary and one sone Billie. To the sorrowing widow and children deepest sympathy is extended in this hour of sore bereavement. Four sisters, Mrs. Brett, Orangeville, Mrs. (Rev.) Colwell, Winnipeg.
