from The Pittsburgh Press dated Monday, September 16 1889  (page 7):

WALLACE - On Sunday, Sept. 15 1889, at ? pm, Mary Lucy Wood HOLMES,
wife of E R WALLACE, aged 33 years.  Funeral service at the residence
of her father, Rev C A HOLMES, No. 164 Locust street, Allegheny, on
Monday, Sept 16, at 8 o'clock am.  Interment at Harrisburg, Pa.

from The Pittsburg Dispatch dated Tuesday, September 17 1889  (page 2):

Rev C A HOLMES, D D, one of the most prominent Methodist clergymen in
the county, has met with a terrible bereavement.  Brief mention was
made in The Dispatch yesterday that his daughter, Mrs Lucy W WALLACE,
had died on Sunday afternoon at the Homeopathic Hospital.

The saddest part of the affliction is the fact that only two weeks
ago, Mrs WALLACE's mother, Dr HOLMES' wife, was buried.  Her funeral
service at her husband's church, in Manchester, Allegheny, was notable
from the attendance of nearly 20 ministers of the gospel.  At that
time, reference was made to the sick daughter, who could not be
present at the funeral.  Mrs WALLACE's end was probably hastened by
the sorrow resulting from the mother's death.  She was the wife of E R
WALLACE of Harrisburg.  Funeral services were held last night at Dr
HOLMES' residence, 164 Locust, Allegheny.  It was impressive beyond
description.  The interment will take place at Harrisburg.

NOTES:
>From census, husband is Edwin R WALLACE with children Charles (died
1882) and Carrie.
