Bio
C. H. Wallis Died Saturday. Chas. H. Wallis, aged 65 years 9 months and 1 day died at his home in the Chambliss community Saturday morning Aug. 25. at 10 o'clock, of heart failure. Deceased was born in Baldon county, Mississippi, November 24, 1851. He came to Texas with his father in 1874, and settled near Wylie. He was married to Miss Mattie Skelton, a sister of Frank Skelton, a former widely known citizen of that place, but now of Trinity Mills, October 15, 1874. After residing at Wylie for several years, he moved to Denton county, and lived for a few years near Denton. From there he moved to the Chambliss community, where he had been living for the past eighteen years. Mr. and Mrs. WALLIS were the parents of fifteen children, eight sons and seven daughters, five of whom have preceded their father to the great beyond. He is survived by his wife and ten children, six sons and four daughters, as follows: Joe, Homer, Tom, Claud, Clyde, and Will, and Mesdames Buelah Hogge of Parker, Maude Browning of Melissa, Anna Nichols of Anna, and Elzie Airhart of Chambliss.

L. B. SHELL, assisted by his former pastors, the Rev. Glenn L. Sneed of Dallas and the Rev. Mr. Davis of Port Arthur. Burial was made in the Chambliss cemetery. A large number of relatives and friends were present from Wylie, as well as other portions of the county. Deceased professed faith in Christ when a young man and united with the Presbyterian church. In the death of Chas. H. Wallis, one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of our county, is removed from the walks of men. He was a personal friend of the writer, who had known and respected him for over twenty-five years. We attended his funeral and witnessed the last sad rites of burial and heard the touching tributes paid his memory by his former pastors. We deplore his death and extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family and loved ones. [The Weekly Democrat-Gazette, McKinney, Texas, August 30, 1917] MARRIAGE: WALLIS, C. H. married M. F.
