Charles M. Wallar, attorney at law, was born in Washington County, Ohio, 
September 9, 1854. Rev. James Lee Wallar, his father, now of Enfield, White 
County, Illinois, belongs to the southern Illinois Conference. He was born in 
Rutland, Vermont, November 25, 1819, and learned the stone cutting business in 
the marble quarries of that place. He then studied law and practiced for several 
years in Columbus, Ohio, and in Marietta. The practice of his profession was not 
preferable to him, so he abandoned it and entered the ministry of the M. E. Church. 
In 1861 he enlisted in Meigs County, Ohio, and raised 125 young men for three 
month's service, and was captain. At the close of this time he entered Company 
A, second West Virginia Cavalry, together with his company of young men. 
Captain W. was promoted to major, and participated in many severe battles under 
command of Colonel Paxton. After leaving the army he removed to Richland 
County, Illinois, joined the conference and engaged in preaching. He married Miss 
Fanny E. Gammard, and they had seven children, of whom four are now living. The 
subject of this sketch is the fourth son of the family. He received his education 
at McKendrie College, Lebanon, Illinois, and subsequently read law with Judge 
Bell, of Mt. Carmel, Illinois, and S. P. Wheeler, of Cairo, and was admitted to 
practice by the supreme court of Illinois July 4, 1876, only sixteen out of a class 
of forty-two being admitted. During this time he was obliged to teach school in 
order to study his profession. He commenced practicing in Newton, Illinois, in 
1876, and in May, 1882, he located in Windsor, Missouri. Though a comparatively 
recent arrival here he has become one of the foremost citizens of the place, and 
is having a good practice. Mr. Wallar married Miss Laura C. Townsend January 27, 
1878. She was the daughter of William S. Townsend, of Mt. Carmel, Illinois. They 
have one son, Charles B., born January 20, 1881. Politically he is a Democrat. He 
belongs to the M. E. Church, South.
