Henry C. Wallen, farmer, is a son of Elisha and Mary (Hughes) Wallen,
both native Tennesseeans, and born in 1795 and 1799, respectively. They
came to Washington County, Mo., in 1806, and here spent the remainder
of their lives.  The father was a farmer, and a soldier in the War of
1812.  In the latter part of his life he affiliated with the Democratic
party, but was formerly a Whig.  He was a stirring and energetic busi-
ness man, and was a great lover of hunting, being a fine marksman.  He
died in 1872, and his wife in 1866.  Their family consisted of eighteen
children, nine sons and nine daughters.  Their son, Henry C., was born
on the farm where he now lives, in 1843, and was educated in the sub-
scription schools.  In 1868 he married Miss Nancy J. Tullock, who was
born in St. Francois County, Mo., in 1846.  To them have been born 
seven children: Eliza C., Minnie B., Samuel A., Luther H., Herman T.,
Louella B. and Lillie G.  Mr. Wallen is a Democrat, and a member of the
Masonic fraternity.  He has lived on his present farm of 251 acres all
his life, and, besides this property, owns a fifth interest in the 
Wallen Copper Mines.
