ARTHUR F. WALLACE was born in 1842, in Barren County, Ky., a son of
Augustus and Elizabeth (Clark) Wallace.  On arriving at manhood he followed
farming until he enlisted in 1861, in Company E, Third Kentucky Infantry,
and served until 1865.  He participated in the battles of Chickamauga,
Mission Ridge and Resaca.  April 16, 1865, while on board the "Sultana"
about twelve miles above Memphis, the vessel exploded and almost
instantaneously Mr. Wallace and about 3,000 others were thrown into the
river.  Nearly one-half were lost by drowning or scalding, Mr. Wallace
being scalded all over the body.  At that time he was being transferred
from the Southern authorities, with whom he had been a prisoner six
months.  He was confined in the hospital at Memphis, later at Camp Chase
and Louisville.  April 9, 1874, he married Miss Sarah Hopewell, daughter
of John B. and Elizabeth (Holsclaw) Hopewell.  Mr. Hopewell's paternal
grandfather, John Hopewell, was a soldier in the Revolution, as was also
his maternal grandfather, Abner Roberts, and both were natives of Virginia.
Mr. Hopewell was born in Spencer County, September 12, 1816, and his wife,
September 23, 1816 in Garrard County.  She died April 26, 1859.  Mrs.
Wallace was born July 20, 1845, in Spencer County, and she and her husband
are members of the Presbyterian Church.  Their children are John, Robert
G., Maggie, Bessie M. and Arthur.
