Thomas Jefferson Wallner was associated with Virginia Maid Hosiery Mills, Wallner Silk Hosiery Mills, and Acme Hosiery Dye Works, and he was remembered as one who held his place, held the long purpose like a growing tree, held on through blame and faltered not at praise, and when he fell in whirlwind, he went down as when a lordly cedar, green with boughs, goes down with a great shout upon the hills, and leaves a lonesome place against the sky.
