DAVID WALLACE, born July 7, 1858, in Atchison county, Mo. He was raised on a farm and has a meager education. Is the son of Isaac F. Wallace, who was one of the early settlers of Jasper county, and was born in 1817, in New York State. His father was in the War of 1812. The subject of this sketch moved with his parents to Jasper county at the close of the war, and located on his present farm of 182 acres, which joins the village of Jasper on the northeast; at that time there was only one house in Carthage and the neighbors were few and far between. Young David has traveled some through southwestern Mo., but has remained at home most of the time. Himself and brother are now carrying on their father’s farm; is considered a successful farmer, and soon bids fair to make one of the substantial men of Jasper county.
