H. C. WALLIS was born in Trigg County, this State, March 4, 1836, a son of
William and Elizabeth (Wallis) Wallis, both of whom were originally from
South Carolina. The father is yet living, a prosperous farmer of Trigg
County. The parents were blessed with nine children, six of whom
survive. Our subject was reared upon the farm, and in 1855 removed to
this county and taught school, and worked at plastering and farming. He
commenced in business with a wagon loaded with goods and did a general
trading business throughout the country. He has now a large store-house
situated near the Trigg County line, a few miles west of Lamasco, where he
does a thriving and constantly increasing business. He married Miss Nancy
