Uncle Jack Wallace Dies Suddenly.

Wednesday evening about 6:30 o'clock, A. J. Wallace died quite suddenly 
at his home near town. He was returning home from town and when he 
arrived within a short distance of the house was seized with an attack 
of heart failure and fell. His cries for assistance were heard by his 
son, who carried him to the house where he expired in a few minutes. He 
had been subject to similar attacks but lately had been in better health 
than usual, expressing himself while in town a short time prior to his 
death as feeling better than for some time.

"Uncle Jack" Wallace, as he was familiarly called, was perhaps one of 
the most widely known men in this section of the country, having been a 
resident of Cass and Morris county for the past forty years. He came to 
Cass county from Alabama and with the exception of a few years residence 
in Denton county had resided here continuously. He had for a long time 
been an active and conscientious member of the Baptist church and took 
an active part in the work of the church. He was also an active member 
of the M. D. Herring I.O.O.F. lodge here, having been elevated to its 
highest offices.

Surviving him are his wife and four children, George Wallace, who 
resides here, Mrs. Lon Willis of Hosston, LA, Mesdames Jeff Jarrett and 
A. L. Hicks of Dalton.

Burial was at Creekmore cemetery Thursday afternoon, religious services 
conducted by Rev. J. D. Stringer."
