PETER WALLACE Died Saturday
Another of the pioneer residents of Ashkum passed away Saturday, March 11, 1922,
when the death of Mr. Peter WALLACE occurred, at the age of nearly seventy nine
years. Peter, son of Thomas and Ester WALLACE, was born at New Bedford, Province
of Quebec, Canada, June 29, 1843. When he was but one year old his parents moved
to Troy New York, remaining there four years. In 1848 they came west, making
the trip by boat, via the Great Lakes, and settled at Joliet, Ill. Here the
subject of this sketch grew to young manhood. In 1868 he came to Ashkum and
settled upon his brother's farm, southeast of town. The next year in 1869, in
April, he returned to Joliet, where he married Miss Mary DONOVAN. He brot[sic]
his bride to the prairie home and they continued to reside on this one farm
for 40 years. To Mr. and Mrs. WALLACE were born seven children, one of which
died in infancy. The other six children, Peter of Pekin, Harry of Colorado,
Thomas of Canada, Mrs. George MERKLE of Claypool, Indiana, Caroline of Chicago
and Mrs. Chris MERKLE of Danforth, who with their mother survive him. In 1907
Mr. and Mrs. WALLACE left the farm and moved into a home in Ashkum where they
have since resided. Since leaving the farm he has never been strong and about
one year ago his health began to fail. Last November he rapidly grew worse and
the past six weeks he has been bedfast. Diabetis[sic] was the cause of his death.
Being such an early settler in Illinois, Mr. Wallace possessed a large number
of facts of interest, concerning the days, especially his boyhood days, spent
in and near Joliet. He loved to tell of those days and entertained many persons
with his reminiscences. He would often tell of the great changes from the time
he came here in 1868, until the present time, changes which such hard working
pioneers help to bring about, which made this country of such value today. All
honor to those sturdy ment who labored and sacrificed that the present generation
might enjoy such blessings and comforts as we now have. Funeral services were
held at the Catholic Church, of which he had always been a faithful member,
Tuesday, March 14, conducted by Fr. RIMMELS. His pall bearers were all old friends
and neighbors, Thos. FRUIN , Jules LEMENAGER, Fred TASCHER, W. P. BURNS, Fred
IRVIN, W. CLEARY. Burial was in the Ashkum cemetery. Those from a distance attending
the funeral besides his children were, Mr. Tim DONOVAN of Cherokee Iowa, Dr.
