Death of Lilburn V. Wallace
A Cablegram was received Monday evening by Mrs. Charles Wallace, announcing the death of her son, Lilburn V. Wallace, in a hospital in London, England. No details were given.
Two years ago Mr. Wallace was returned to London by the Associated Press, and during this past summer was called to Paris to do special work for the army edition of the Chicago Tribune. He had been in poor health for the past four years, causing him to give up, in part, the journalistic work to which he was attached and so eminently qualified to handle.
Mr. Wallace was born in this city, February 14 1844. He received his education in the public schools of Lexington, and at an early age began his journalistic work. The usual struggles of an aspirant in this field of endeavor were encountered, but his natural instinct supplemented by hard work soon gained him recognition from the big metropolitan dailies and afterwards by the great news agencies of the country. He was at different times sent to Europe on special work, and later became the resident representative of the Associated Press in London.
Mr. Wallace is survived by his wife, who was an English girl, and two small daughters, besides his mother, two sisters, Mrs. Arch Hix, and Miss Margaret Wallace, all of this city, and three brothers, Charles of Arizona, Carlyle of Indiana, and George of Kansas City, on the editorial staff of the Star.
