John Wallace (1855-1926) moved to Tangier in the 1870's. J.E. Wallace & Co. Store stood on the corner of Wallace Road and West Ridge, facing Wallace Road. It sold groceries, general merchandise, and coffins, and Wallace also worked as an undertaker. The store also contained the Wallacedale Theater. Wallace lived across the street at 16550 West Ridge, and his grave is behind the mobile home now at that address.
