Biography

Wallace was born in 1841. He was the son of Alexis LeTendre and Annis Ford. He passed away in 1911.

The Clinton County, NY, Civil War Records 1861-1865 Facebook Page notes the following: Wallace, was wounded during his 3-years’ service with the 118th Infantry and died in 1911 of a combination of heart and kidney disease. In a strange coincidence, it was Francois D’Avignon, the surgeon of the 96th Infantry, his father’s old regiment, who pronounced him dead. In his old age, Wallace had taken to wearing his old blue army coat around Au Sable Forks and Jay and was a familiar figure when he was out walking.
