Hello-
I do not know whether you have received and answer to your query yet or not, but Homer Lyle Wallace born March 18, 1886, is the son of Henry L. Wallace and Alice Olivia Barr.
Alice is the half sister of my mother-in-law's grandmother, Lulu Glendora Brothers Wallace. (Note they both married men named Wallace but not the same family).
Alice's parents were John Wesley Barr & Margaret O'Mullen. Lulu's parents were Nathaniel Brother & Margaret O'Mullen.
I am wondering if you have info on the children's families? Homer Lyle Wallace, Sr's siblings were Leslie G. Wallace & teacher, Velma M. Wallace. You can e-mail me at ToginC@aol.com for more info. Thanks, Togin

Togin,
Thanks for your reply. I'll put in the information in my file. Homer married Bessie Alice Yager and they had 3 children, Homer Lyle Wallace, Jr. (1918), Patricia A. Wallace (1921) and Malcolm H. Wallace (1925)
Bessie was a granddaughter of Rev. Cornelius Yager, a very popular Cumberland Presbyterian minister in California and Nevada in the late 1800's. I have been trying to contact Rev. Yager's descendants in an attempt to find out what happened to his papers which have a great deal of historical signifance. It seems that when Rev. Yager died in the 1890's his daughter, Sarah Caldwell in Fresno, gave the papers to her brother, Francis Marion Yager (Bessie's father). After he died in 1908, his wife Nancy (Foster) seems to have given then to her sister, a Mrs. Smith in Danville. I think the family believed that some large inheritence was due to come to them from some Kentucky relative and the sister thought the papers had some value.
What happened to the papers after that I don't know but I would sure like to locate whatever has survived the years. The Cumberland Presbyterian (www.cumberland.org) would like to have them for their library. There are 2 biographies of Rev. Yager on their website and there are several letters by him at The Watts Hays Letters (www.wattshaysletters.com)
