Lake Co., IN Obit

	Lester Wallace was born in Ashtabula County, Ohio July 3, 1849 and died
at his home, Orchard Grove, Indiana, February 14, 1901, aged 51 years, 7
months and 11 days.  He has not been in the best of health for sometime, but
went to bed feeling as well as usual.  About midnight his wife was awakened by
his moaning.  She hastened to him and did all in her power to give him relief: but
to no avail; the Death Angel had called and he must obey the summons.  He was
one of our most industrious farmers and was highly respected by all who knew
him.  In 1855 he moved with his parents from Ohio to Michigan and in 1865 came
to Indiana, where he has since resided.  May 21, 1871 he was united in marriage
to Miss Stella Vandecar; the fruit of this union being two daughters-Addie Izetta
and  Bertha Leona; the eldest, who was the wife of Carl Brownell dying April 20,
1894.
	He united with the Methodist Church about twenty six years ago and has
ever since lived the life of a devout christian being a member at the time of his
death of that society at Orchard Grove.  His funeral occurred from the Orchard
Grove School House at 10 a.m. Saturday last: a very large number of his old
neighbors and friends gathered to pay tribute of respect to him whom they has
respected in life.  Rev. E. D. Smith preached the funeral sermon and Funeral
Director Weaver had charge of the burial services.  He leaves his wife, one
daughter Mrs. Clifford Kenney, two grandchildren, a step mother, three brothers
and one sister, together with a large circle of friends to mourn his departure 
to that bet-
