Her cousins, Mrs. Ellen Johnston and Miss Laura Phillips were talking to Mrs. Wallace on that day and heard her voice very clearly. Mrs. Wallace was born near Auburn and is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Symington and was born in 1882. She mar- ried Henry Wallace of Sum- merhill (now deceased) in 1905 and in the spring of the following year, the young couple moved out west with their four-month son Oliver. The Wallaces had made the move on the advice of Mary Ellen's doctor. She had not, been well following the birth of her son. The doctor had 'recommended they go west for a change of climate. For several months after their arrival in Battleford, Henry earned a living by herding cattle on an area of land which was later to become the townsite for North Battleford. Mary Ellen recalled that their mode of transportation in those days was a stoneboat with a team of oxen. Within the year, the Wallaces had filed on a homestead 16 miles north east of Wilkie and had established their new residence in a sod hut. Although the town of Wilkie had just begun to establish itself in 1906' the Wallaces were there to witness the many changes which took place in the town over the next 44 years. In 1950, the Wallaces had retired and moved to Pentic- ton, B.C. where they had bought a house the 'year before. Although they en- joyed the milder climate, each • year. the Wallaces returned to Saskatchewan to help with the seeding and other activities on the farm. After Henry died in 1959, Mary Ellen stayed on•in Pen- ticton'for 11. Years. In • 1970, she returned to Battleford to be near her family. °Mary Ellen's family 'consisted of fourboys and two girls, the oldest and youngest child died several years ago. Her four remaining children, Thornton, °Bill, Olive and Glen all reside in the Bat- tleford district. Olive lives with her mother in the city. • Throughout her life, Mary Elle had been a great wor r.

A co an ' go -tea in her honor was e d followed by a birthday supper for 23 relatives and three friends at the home of her son Bill in Battleford. Mary Ellen still enjoys a game of cards especially euchre and 31 and as a crowning touch to a very special day Mary Ellen Wallace won the last card game played on the evening of her birthday supper. Her cousins Ellen and Laura sent her a beautiful corsage for the special day which she was wearing in her pictures she had sent to her Auburn. relatives.. Nelson Moulden is a nephew of Mrs. Wallace.
