Alternate date of birth July 1827 in 1900 Federal Census
In 1910, living with daughter in Long Beach.
"A message was received this morning by Mrs. F. H. CORNELIUS, north of Rochester, bringing the sad news of the death of her mother, Mrs. Robert WALLACE, Sr., which occurred at 2:30 o'clock this morning in Long Beach, California. Mrs. Wallace was visiting her daughter, Mrs. Charles LEEBRICK, when stricken with her last illness about a month ago. Her condition grew steadily worse and the past week the end, which came this morning, was quite apparent.
Mrs. Wallace went to California in October, 1909, having expressed a desire to visit her two daughters, Mrs. Elmira LEEBRICK and Mrs. Elizabeth HAUK, who reside at Long Beach, that state. Before she left, Mrs. Wallace remarked to her friends that she would never return to Rochester alive, and made arrangements to have her body returned to Rochester for her last resting place, to be laid beside her husband and children.
She was a devoted wife and mother, and her home was always open to those in affliction. When Robert C. WALLACE of this city, was 3 years old, and his brother, William WALLACE, now of Marion, was 3 weeks old, Mrs. Wallace gave a home and cared for them as her own. Many others have been befriended by this kind lady, who will join the sorrowing children and other relatives in their deepest grief.
Elmira SHAFER was born in Marion county, Ohio, July 31, 1828, and was the third child of Jacob and Mary SHAFER, being the last of a family of eight children. She came, with her parents, to Fulton county, Indiana, in 1842, and settled near Kewanna. On October 17, 1848, she was united in marriage with Robert WALLACE and in 1852 they came to Rochester, where they lived until his death. Mrs. Wallace continued her residence in this city until leaving for California. To this union was born five children: Mary C. [WALLACE] and John J. [WALLACE], deceased; Mrs. Elizabeth M. HAUK and Mrs. Elmira LEEBRICK, both of Long Beach, California, and Mrs. Vida J. CORNELIUS, north of this city.
The body will be brought to this city for burial by Mrs. Charles LEEBRICK and will arrive here Wednesday or Thursday of next week."--8 Feb 1911, The Rochester (IN) Sentinel
