- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, November 9, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Thomas Wallis - Our village was very much surprised and shocked, Saturday evening, to learn that at 7 o'clock Mr. Thomas Wallis had died. So short a time had he been confined to the home that the fact of his sickness was known to but a few in town. On Tuesday evening he was taken with all the suffering which comes with strangulated hernia and at four o'clock Saturday, Dr. Van Dyne, of Syracuse assisted by Drs. F. S. and C. E. Low and J. L. More performed an operation but the shock was more than he could endure. A similar operation was performed on Mr. Wallis about eight years ago. Thomas Wallis came from Kent, England, in 1854, then a boy of twenty years. He was a member of a party of ten among whom was Mr. William Peach of this village. After remaining here a year he returned to England and married an English lady who lived but a short time after their arrival in America. He married Miss Elizabeth J. Outerson, of this village in 1864. She survives him. Mr. Wallis followed the trade of wagon maker up to 1865, when he entered the grocery business in which he has been engaged in this village to the time of his death, except a part of the year 1881 when lie was in Idaho. Mr. Wallis has enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his business and social associates. He worthily held the honor of being an upright and highly respected citizen. He will be buried at ten o'clock to-day from his late residence. The merchants will close then stores out of respect for their business associate and esteemed townsman. Friends from out of town here to attend the funeral are Mr. and Mrs. James T. Outerson, Watertown; Mrs. William Outerson, Dayton, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Outerson, Holyoke, Massachusetts; J. A. Outerson, Carthage; C. E. Outerson, Brownville and Frank Outerson, Carthage.
