    • ROBERT WALLACE'S DEATH

      The death is announced elsewhere of Mr. Robert Wallace, a former well-known and very highly respected resident of Galt, but who has been living for some years in Toronto. He was much beloved and his death will cause sorrow among a large circle of friends, both in Toronto and Galt. His death took place on Sunday morning, at 12 10 a.m., at his residence, 75 Harhord St., Toronto. The deceased who was of Scotch descent was born in 1814 and consequently was in his 79th year. He came to Canada in 1834, settling in Beverly, where he remained for two years after which he moved into Galt and immediately went into the grocery business in the stand now occupied by Mr. Jas. Trotter. In the year 1839 three years after he came to Galt he was married to Isabella, daughter of the late John Sutherland, who survives him together with two daughters and three sons, Mrs. A. G. Elmslie of Galt and Miss Wallace, Robert S. Wallace of Hamilton, Rev. W. G. Wallace of Bloor St. Presbyterian church, Toronto and Mr. A. B. Wallace of Buffalo. Of his surviving brothers and sisters, there are only one of the former Mr. George Wallace, of Toronto and two of the latter, Mrs. A. Robertson of Guelph and Mrs. A. A. Erb of Preston. He moved to Toronto and has resided there since that time. In politics Mr. Wallace was a Conservative and like most Scotchmen was a lover of curling and was the skip of a rink which a good many years ago, was called the "Colation rink" being composed of two Grits and two Conservatives. The late John Scott and the Hon. Jas. Young the Grits and the late James McMillan and the deceased the Conservatives. He was in Galt during the last curling season and a number who were present and saw him curling spoke of how well he looked considering his age. The funeral which took place here Tuesday morning on the arrival of the 9: 30 C. P. R. train, was met by a large number of the deceased's old friends and relatives, the services being held in the Central Presbyterian church and the interment in Mount View Cemetery.
