JOHN A. WALLACE is the son of William and Louisa (Bridgewater) Wallace,
the parents being natives of Fayette County, Ky., the father's birth
occurring in 1808, and the mother's in 1812.  They came to this county at
an early day, where they settled.  The paternal grandfather, Alexander,
was also a prominent early settler and served in the Legislature.  He was
a man of more than ordinary brain and character.  The same is true of his
son William and his grandson, John A.  Both William and his wife died well
respected and honored, in 1874, after a useful life.  John A. has been all
his life a farmer and now has a pleasant home (Orleans Township).  In 1862
he enlisted in Company E, Sixty-sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
and served until the close of the war.  At the disastrous battle of
Richmond, Ky., he was captured and held prisoner of war eight days.  He
was afterward at Collierville, Atlanta, Dallas, Jonesboro and other
engagements of less note, serving bravely through them all.  His first
wife was Susan, daughter of William and Elizabeth Irwin, who bore him one
child - Louella. His second wife, Sarah A. Sappenfield, bore him two
children:  Estella and John A.  Mr. Wallace is one of the county's best
farmers.  He is a Republican and a member of the Christian Church.
