Philadelphia, the son of John Wallace of Scotland and Ellen West of Ireland. In
1867, in Philadelphia, he married Clara St. Helen Laughton, a native of England.
George and Clara had 3 daughters born in Philadelphia. By 1880 they had
relocated to Camden, NJ where they had 3 more children. By 1917 George was

The notation in his obituary that he was survived by one brother named W.
