Peru Republican, January 1873


        ~~~~~~~~~~ 

      Death of Captain Wallick. 


      Wm F Wallick was born in Tuscorawas county, Ohio, January 28, 1842, died in
Peru, Jan. 16, 1873. Funeral services at the residence by Rev W L Huffman. 

      The deceased came to this city with his patents, in early youth and spent the
remainder of his life here. He entered the volunteer service soon after the
rebellion broke out and was a member of the first company that went from Peru, of
which he was elected Second Lieutenant. He was a brave solider and served with
honorable distinction; although, after promotion to the first lieutenancey of his
company, he was dismissed and remained for a little time under a cloud. The facts
coming to the knowledge of the War Department, he was afterwards restored to his
rank, honorably discharged, and brevetted a captain. He knew no fear, acknowledged
no danger, and was frequently rash in acting upon the impulse of the moment. In 1867
he married the daughter of Wm. Hagee, Esq., who with two children survives him. 

      For several tears the deceased had been considerably dissipated in his habits.
While he had many noble qualities, his friends had to regret this indulgence.
Intemperance is a stronger enemy than a hostile army: it blights the life of a young
man and destroys his power for usefulness.
