Occupation:
aft 1882 (age 11-12)
on the land|| At the time of his birth his father was a herd in Carn (a Townland in the Parish of Boho) but whether on his own land or as a employee of the Carn House estate is not known. However, by September 1909 his father was Landholder at Drumhirk (also in Boho). The 1911 Census shows that he was working on his mother's farm which had presumable been his father's before he died in 1910. After his mother's death in 1916 he continued to live at Drumhirk where presumably his older brother Charles has taken over the farm. It is assumed that he started helping his father from the age of 12 - if not before - and that he contiued to work on the family land until he died.

George Wallace attended the burial of John Wallace on 9 November 1910 in the Parish Church, Boho, Fermanagh. The letter from John's son William to his son John says that the burial took place on 9 November and that 'we were all there when he was buried'. It is not certain who the 'all' refers to. Almost certainly John's wife Mary and their three sons Charles, William and George who were also living in Drumhirk. Whether their daughter Mary who had married in 1900 and lived at Gortatole in the parish of Killesher could be contacted in time and was able to attend is not known. The same doubt exists over Henery who was probably working as a domestic servant at Florencecourt.

Death:
5 Jul 1942 (age 71)
Cause: cachexia due to carcinoma of the rectum
Address: the Union Hospital
Cachexia, or wasting syndrome, is loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness and significant loss of appetite seen in people with cancer. It is a positive risk factor for death, meaning that the chance of death from the underlying condition is increased dramatically. His death registration gives residence prior to admission as Springfield. It is thought that he had lived there for some time as the two surviving letters that he wrote to his niece Amy in 1923 are both sent from Springfield.
