          William P Wallace

          Obituary

          WM. P. WALLACE
          Times and Gazette
          June 16. 1877
          Excerpts from the funeral address given by Rev. Jewett of the Congregational Church. The funeral obsequies of Wm. P Wallace took place last Sunday under the auspices of Bay View Lodge No. 109 100F of which he was a member, assisted by Redwood City Fire Company of which he was an exempt member. A long procession conveyed the remains from the residence of Chas. Hanson, where he had lain since their arrival from Cloverdale, to the Congregational church where the funeral took place.
          The friend whose sudden death we mourn today made many voyages upon the sea in his early life. William P Wallace, whose birth place is a little town on the island of Falster in Denmark, was from early life familiar with the sea. His father was a sea captain, who in childhood may have seen the English men-of-war which bombarded Copenhagen and carried captive to Great Brittan the Danish fleet, and who in the Crimean war, twenty one years ago, lost his own vessel at the hand of pirates. When about ten years of age, William, with the spirit of adventure stirring within him, undertook his first great sea voyage to New Orleans to be with a brother. The brother soon died and the young sailor began to follow the sea in earnest, visiting various regions of the globe, until 1850, he sailed around Cape Horn, coming through the Golden Gate to the city of San Francisco. With others, he left very soon for the mines where he met with fluctuating success until 1853, he came back to the salt water and in company with a warm friend, Capt Baker, since deceased, he came upon the sloop, Julia, up the Redwood City Creek to the little Embarcadero, which has since grown into our thriving town.
          After several years he again sought the mines, going with a friend, who is present today, to Fraser River. Even on that expedition in search for gold, they showed themselves true sons of the seagirt Denmark, for they stopped at Victoria to build a vessel.
          Upon his return to California in 1860, Mr. Wallace took up his residence in this town, first working in the lumberyard of Mr. Chas. Hanson, then occupying a position as clerk in the office and soon being received as partner in the firm of Hanson, Ackerson & Co., as well as in San Francisco, Puget Sound and Redwood. It is the testimony of those who knew him most intimately associated with him in business, that he was capable, honest, and faithful. Important interests have been placed in his keeping and he has managed them faithfully for others as well as for himself. His sympathies were easily aroused and the needy often found him ready to aid. He was one of the original Fire Company. At the time of his death he was an exempt fireman. For fourteen years he has been with the 100F under whose auspices he is buried today. He leaves in America no relatives.

          Joseph Sawyer Wallis Jr.

          Obituary

          Joseph Sawyer Wallis Jr. was born in Mayfield, California (now Palo Alto) to Sarah Armstrong Wallis and Joseph Sawyer Wallis Sr. Sarah was a leading advocate for women’s rights in California, and Joseph Sr. was a prominent attorney and politician in Santa Clara County. He was the local justice of the peace for several years and served as a state senator after his election in 1862. For the remainder of his life, he was always “Judge Wallis”.

          Sarah was a true pioneer woman, walking overland from Missouri into California with the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy wagon train in 1844. Later Sarah had a house built for her family in Mayfield, California and became a leader in the suffrage movement for women’s voting rights.

          Joseph Wallis Jr. grew up in the rural village of Mayfield, south of San Francisco. In 1870 Joseph is 11, living with his parents and adopted brother, Talbot 17, sister Eva 14, sister Josephine 13 and brother William 9. In 1880, Joseph at age 21 is a boarder with the Margaret Lynch family on J Street in Sacramento. Joseph gives his occupation as lawyer, having had much council and support from his attorney father, Judge Joseph Wallis Sr.

          Joseph Jr. was also greatly helped by his mother’s brother Judge John Wesley Armstrong. Uncle Armstrong was a Superior Court Judge in Sacramento and a director of the California State Library in Sacramento.

          In 1882, at age 23, Joseph died of typhoid fever in Sacramento. His parents brought him home to Mayfield, and he was buried in Redwood City.

              Obituary

              MRS. WALLIS
              Redwood City Democrat
              January 19, 1905
              The remains of Mrs. Wallis, who died at Los Gatos last Wednesday were interred in Union Cemetery, this city, beside her husband and son, Sunday forenoon in the presence of a large concourse of old friends of the deceased Mrs. Wallis was the wife of the late Judge Wallis of Mayfield, a prominent attorney, and resided at that place from 1860 to 1898 when her husband passed away. She had since made her home in Los Gatos.

              In the older days, Mrs. Wallis was a prominent woman socially, and on the completion of the railroad from San Francisco to San Jose, in 1863 she was given a bouquet at Mayfield by the head officials of the Southern Pacific Company, among them being the late Senator Stanford, for the part she taken in securing the right of way for the road. It is said, through her efforts and influence in those days, the right of way was secured.

              Mrs. Wallis was once wealthy, but through her generosity her property passed from her and her declining years were spent on a small place at Los Gatos that was given her by her Sons.
