Lou, Thank you for your letter. I am going to place it in our Wallace file. If anyone is researching this line I know they would be proud to find out that John Henderson Wallace helped design the present Courthouse, was given the corner stone and he was also one of the early commissiners. If we can be of any service doing reseach for you anytime let us know. Again Thank You.
