Long Illness Results In Death
Of James F. Wallis Formerly Of Trigg County In The City Of Hopkinsville
Mr. James F. Wallis, for many years one of the leading citizens and most prosperous farmers of Trigg county, died last Friday morning early at his home on Canton street in Hopkinsville.
Mr. Wallis had been in declining health for a long time from a stroke of paralysis, and this with uraemic poison and other complications caused his death.
Mr. Wallis was born near Caledonia something like eighty years ago and resided on the farm where he was born until four years ago, when he moved to Hopkinsville, where he had since resided.
Mr. Wallis always took an active interest in his county and all public affairs, and on most all questions was splendidly posted and kept abreast of the times as well as most any man of the cay.
As a member of the Methodist church for a long time he was a leader in his community for the better and higher things of life, and no man in all Trigg county was held in higher esteem by all who knew him.
The wife, a Miss Alexander before their marriage, and five children survive him. The children are: Mrs. "Bud" Hammond and Charles W. Wallis, of Hopkinsville; Will T. Wallis and Mrs. Howard Dollard, of near Julien, Christian county, and Nay Wallis, of the Caledonia section in Trigg county.
Funeral services were held at the family home in Hopkinsville Saturday afternoon at one o'clock, and the remains were brought back to Trigg county and buried at the Mark Jones grave yard near Caledonia.

End Came on Wednesday Of Last Week to Fay Wallis at Guthrie
Many Years A Canton Business Man and Clerk Of County Court Eight Years
Mr. L.R. Wallis, former prominent Trigg countian and for eight years Clerk of the Trigg County Court, died on
Wednesday of last week at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Charles R. Lackey, and Mr. Lackey, at Guthrie.
Mr. Wallis had been in declining health for some years and a complication of troubles, followed by a deep cold,hastened his death. Mr. Wallis was about eighty-two years of age and was a son of Jesse Wallis and Mrs. Lucinda Moore Wallis. One sister, Mrs. Ophelia Shaw, of Hopkinsville , survives him.
In early life Mr. Wallis was united in marriage to Miss Ella Major, of Canton, and they lived happily together until
about twelve years ago, when the wife passed away.
The surviving children are Mrs. C.R. Lacey, of Guthrie; Mrs. J. Hodge Alvis, of Guntersville, Ala, and Mrs. Lucien Greer, of Princeton.
For almost forty years beginning when quite a young man, Mr. Wallis was connected with the general merchandise
store of the late W.J. Fuqua and the son, T.H. Fuqua, in Canton. In fact he held this connection until his election in 1901 as the Clerk of the Trigg County Court. He then moved to Cadiz and served in this capacity for a period of eight years from the first of January, 1902.
For some years after retiring from office in 1910, he continued to reside in Cadiz. Later he and Mrs. Wallis went to reside with the daughters, and he had not since resided here.
In religion he was a Methodist and until failing health overtook him, he was active in the church.
Trigg county produced no more splendid citizen than Fay Wallis, as his friends called him. He was of a happy
disposition, devoted and loyal to his friends, and one of the most clever men it was the good fortune of any person to
meet.
The remains were taken to Princeton and there buried on last Friday. The funeral was in charge of the Masons, of
which he had been an honored member of many years.
A number of his brethren went from Cadiz to Princeton Friday to attend the funeral and pay their respects to a
splendid citizen and a true friend.

What a benediction to any community where such dear old mothers as she resided. Surely Trigg county was made better because she had been permitted to live in it.
