JANET & LINDSEY WALLACE

ACROSS THE FENCE

From The Hamilton Herald-News

I would like for you to meet my friends Janet and Wallace Lindsey.  They will be teaching and coaching in our schools next year.  Lindsey will be teaching social studies in Junior High.  He will also coach junior high football and basketball and will coach the high school tack team.  Janet will teach in the sixth grade.  They came to us from Imperial where they were the school there.  Imperial is out between Odessa and Fort Stockton.

Lindsey is getting back down near his old stomping ground as he grew up on a farm near Clifton.  When I asked Janet where she grew up, she replied that it was at Comstock and she asked if I knew where it was.  I told her that I did as my brother had been pastor there years ago.  Then she said that her dad, John Cash, was pastor there now and had been for four years.

Further conversation revealed that Janet’s brother had been treasurer of Crescent Park Baptist Church in Odessa where my brother was associate pastor.  The Wallaces had visited in that church while at Imperial and had met my brother.

College has a way of putting more than book learning in a person’s mind.

One day at Howard Payne this young man fro Central Texas spied this fair young maiden from the Rio Grande and they began to learn about each other.  The more they learned, the better they liked it, and it ended in their marriage three years ago.

The Wallaces are very pleased with the town of Hamilton and the people they have met.  They look forward to a very pleasant and successful life and work her.  Their faith is so strong they bought the Obera Cude Jones home on East Coke for their home.

Lindsey and Janet have both been active in church work.  In fact Lindsey is a lay speaker and often fills pulpits when a pastor is away.  He also likes to hunt and fish.
