He was a dealer in wood, a member of the Town Council, a member of the Presbyte- rian Church, and a man of influence in his town. He died in 1894. Andrew B. Wallace attended school in his native town until the age of fifteen years, then was apprenticed to a dry goods mer- chant for a term of four years. \Vhen that term expired, in 1862, he left home and went to Stirling, going thence to Glasgow, remaining in those two cities until 1867, when he came to the United States, locating in Boston, Massachusetts. Being an ex- perienced dry goods clerk, and before com- ing over, well known, he was hired by a Boston firm, Hogg, Brown & Taylor, while in Glasgow. From Boston Mr. Wallace went to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where for four years he was a member of the firm of Smith & Wallace.
