DEATH OF MRS. I. B. WALLACE
SHE PASSED AWAY AT 8:45 LAST EVENING
Suffered the Third Stroke of Paralysis Within a Year Yesterday—She Came to Independence as a Bride in 1879.
Mrs. Alice C. Wallace, wife of Isaac B. Wallace, died at 8:45 o'clock last night at the family home, 309 South Pennsylvania avenue, in the house where she went to housekeeping as a bride, and where she had lived for 32 years. Mrs. Wallace had been almost an invalid for several years. A year ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis, last July a second one, and the third and fatal attack came yesterday.
Alice Catherine Shriver was born in Pennsylvania 61 years ago, her parents being Adam and Catherine Shriver. They moved to Ohio, and there Miss Shriver met and was married to Isaac B. Wallace. Soon after the wedding the young people came to Kansas and to Independence, where the groom launched in the dry goods business with the firm of Stich Bros. and wallace, in a building that occupied the site now covered by the south part of the Baden Dry Goods store. That was in 1879, and ever since then Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have been residents of Independence. They have seen it grow from a frontier village to a city of importance and have had no small part in its advancement. Here they reared their family and shared in the vicissitudes and joys of this community through that long stretch of years.
Mrs. Wallis is survived by her husband and three children—Mrs. Hale White, of Brookside; Miss Clara and William of the Kansas Natural Gas company.
In early womanhood she became a member of the Congregational church and the funeral will be in charge of Rev. Appleby.
Although naturally reticent and undemonstrative, Mrs. Wallace had a host of warm friends in the community to whom her death will be almost a personal bereavement. She was a devoted wife and mother, a splendid woman in every sense of the word. The sympathy of the city goes out in the fullest measure to the bereaved husband and children.
The funeral will be held from the family residence tomorrow at 2:30 with Rev. Appleby in charge.

ISAAC WALLACE DEAD
Prominent Citizen Passes Away in Arkansas
HE DIED LAST NIGHT
For More Than Forty Years He Was an Active Citizen of This City
I. B> Wallace, for more than forty years a prominent citizen of this city, died last night at 9 o'clock at Doze Keelings, a small backwoods place in Arkansas. The sad news of his untimely death came as a terrible blow to his children in the city for when their father left Sunday afternoon to look after some business matters in Joplin and down in Arkansas, he was feeling well with the exception that he had been troubled with a bad cold for some little time. However, when he left Sunday afternoon he felt that he was recovering from the cold and a cough that he had been suffering from was about checked. In a letter to his daughter received yesterday and which he wrote at Joplin just before he left for Arkansas, he said he was feeling a great deal better than for some time past. No particulars of the cause of his death have been received.
Mr. Wallace is survived by two daughters and one son. Mrs. Catherine White, and Clara Wallace and William Wallace, all three of whom are living at home since the death of Mr. White. The mother passed away a year ago last September and the shadow of her death had not been lifted from the saddened home when the young husband of the eldest daughter was stricken, and now the weight of sorrow is added to by the death of the kind and affectionate father.
In addition to his three children, Mr. Wallace is survived by three brothers, two of whom live in Ohio, and one at Bartlesville, Okla.
Isaac B. Wallace was born in Tuscawaras county, Ohio, August 16, 1853, and was 62 years, 6 months and 14 days old at the time of his death. He was educated at the academy at Smithfield, Ohio, and came to Kansas in 1875, locating in this city, where he began his career as a merchant engaging in the mercantile business in partnership with A. C. and John Stich. In 1879 he returned to Ohio and on March 19, 1879, was married to Miss Alice Shriever, at his old home. The mercantile business not agreeing with his health he sold his interest in the firm in March, 1882, buying a ranch in partnership with his brother, D. F. Wallace in the Indian Territory, and for one year successfully followed the cattle business. In 1883 with his youngest brother, Oliver, he purchased a boot and shoe store in this city and for a number of years they conducted this store with great success. They disposed of their business about the time the oil boom started in this county. Oliver Wallace returned to Ohio and the subject of this sketch devoted his attention to the insurance and mining business.
The news of Mr. Wallace's sudden death will bring a deep pang of regret to a large circle of old friends in this city. He was a good citizen, public spirited and enterprising, a kind and loyal friend and was held in affectionate regard by his associates. He met the reverses of fortune and the trials of life with courage and fortitude and never gave up hope of mastering adverse conditions and achieving good results. He for years took an active part in the business and social life of this city and was always ready to do his part in promoting those things he thought best for the community. A genial and interesting man it always was a pleasure for his friends to meet him and he was a welcome guest at their councils and neighborly gatherings.
Mr. Wallace was a member of the Elks lodge of this city. Walter Zeigler and Wm. A. Wallace left this afternoon for Arkansas and will bring the remains to this city. The funeral arrangements will not be announced until later.
