      Mary Ann was born in England in 1835. She was hired out as a little nurse at the age of 11. She married Thomas Wallace. After they were married they kept the conference house, where the elders stayed whenever they were in that part of England. They were the parents of 11 children including three sets of twins. Mary Ann, Thomas and their daughter Annie, emigrated to America in 1861, and traveled with Eldredge's Wagon Company, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley on Aug. 22, 1861. Mary Ann helped her husband in the weaving business and later in life she studied obstetrics and worked in that profession with much success. She was Primary President in North Ogden for 21 years and during this time also held positions of a counselor in Relief Society and YWMIA. After her husband passed away, she took boarders to support herself and then finally went to live with a daughter, Elizabeth, in Idaho. Mary Ann passed away at the age of 83 in Idaho."

You will live to celebrate, in good style, some future return of your 'birthday' among many friends under happier conditions than the present if my wish is granted. Now, I will say peace be to your spirit - May the lamp of life shed its full light upon you, may the voice of peace always be heard in your home and find a full response in your heart. May plenty always crown your board and abundance flow to your friends; above all, may the Spirit of Truth dwell in you and manifest its riches in your life!!! Bless our Children, cheer our friends, help the needy, strengthen the weak, cheer the sick, comfort the bereaved, shelter the homeless and God will repay you. Your husband, affectionately, Thomas Wallace."

      8. I have copied Thomas Wallace's personal diary and the history of his wife, Mary Ann Burnhope, from FHL film 362685. I have this on CD with about 400 actual images copied from the film. I also have a partial hard copy on file.

      BIOGRAPHY:
      1. The FHL library in Salt Lake City has a film of Thomas Wallace of which I made a CD copy. The following in on the film in longhand. Sketch of the Life of Mary Ann Burnhope Wallace: "I was born April 24, 1835 at Hexham, Northumberland Co., England. My parents, Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton, were of English birth and of Protestant and Catholic faith, until the year 1847 when they with their seven children were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My father, when a young man, enlisted in the British Army. He was bought off, ran away and joined the army, served his time and then worked at freighting. After his marriage he was a section foreman on the railroad. My mother was a housekeeper in the families of the nobility for fifteen years previous to her marriage. My ancestors were foresters and brewers. I was hired out as a little nurse at the age of eleven years to a Mr. Pell, one of the nobility, who lived at Wallsend. I was to help myself to the necessities of life and as I grew older I helped my parents. I was baptized September 25, 1847 into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and from that time it seemed as though persecution began. My companions shunned and would not speak to me, except to answer. The servants of nobility had few privileges and very seldom were allowed callers or to go out. Thomas Wallace was a traveling elder in the British Isles, and at the time I met him he was president of the Sunderland and New Castle Pastorate and was well liked by the saints. We were married April 9, 1859 at Gateshead, England. We kept the Conference house and the Elders made their home with us whenever they were in that part of the mission. On April 18, 1860, I was blessed with a baby girl and we named her Annie. On April 23, 1861, my husband, baby and I left all that we held dear in our native land and crossed the ocean on the ship, Underwriter, to come to America for the Gospel's sake. We arrived at New York, May 22, 1861, and at Florence, Nebraska (now known as Winter Quarters) June 2, 1861. We stayed here until June 30, 1861. The ox teams having arrived from Salt lake City, Utah, we continued our journey to that place. It was now that our trials began, for it was slow traveling, some days only going five miles; cooking by the camp fire, sleeping on the ground, and being frightened by the Indians made our journey hard for us. The captain of the company, Ira Eldredge, was very kind to us and had the mothers with babies ride all the way. But my husband walked every mile. We arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, September 15, 1861. We stayed there that winter. I got some sewing to do and was paid with a few pieces of homemade soap and my dinner for several days work at one place and at another place, one dollar and my dinner for a week's sewing. My baby took cold sitting on the floor and I spent the dollar for medicine. I had many such experiences. The following spring we went to American Fork, Utah County, Utah. We bought us a home which was one large log room, with one window. Our first payment of one hundred and fifty dollars was with our best clothes. My husband got a loom and worked at his trade, which was that of a weaver. He took the first prize at the fair for the best piece of Utah-made flannel. I always helped him with his weaving and the lint always kept everything dusty. Here my first son, Thomas, was born October 24, 1862, but died May 22, 1864. Here also a daughter was born March 10, 1865, Elizabeth Charlton, named for my mother. She later married Orson Hyde Hickenlooper, February 7, 1884 in the Endowment House, Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1866 we sold our home in American Fork and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where our son, Samuel, was born November 22, 1867. He died at Ogden, Weber County, Utah, November 7, 1876 of smallpox. My parents, with my brother, Thomas, and sister, Betsy, came to Salt Lake City from England in the summer of 1868. They lived with us and in February 1869 father died with erysipelas. Mother was very sick with the dreadful disease, but recovered. It was after this that my daughter, Annie, had St. Vitus Dance and was sick so long that she was always frail and died April 12, 1875, at Ogden, Weber County, Utah. We moved to Ogden in 1869, where we again bought a home. Here Josephine Egan was born January 7, 1870 and died November 1872 of diphtheria. My next children were twins, Robert and Nance Burnhope, born May 20, 1872 and died, Nancy on August 26, and Robert on August 29, 1872. My husband, being very devout in his religion and feeling that he should keep all the commandments, married Elvira Stowell, February 10, 1873. She had one son, William, born July 20, 1874 at Ogden, Weber County, Utah. Elvira was born September, 1856 at Ogden and died October 19, 1876 of smallpox. I nursed her, William, and my two children, Elizabeth and Samuel through this dreadful disease, but only saved two of them. People were so frightened of smallpox thay would not come on the street where we lived; none of her people came and when she died, Brother Wallace and I laid her out for burial. I had to go across the street for our temple clothes, as we had loaned them, and she was buried at midnight, and taken to the cemetery in a lumber wagon, Brother Wallace and the two men who came with the wagon being the only mourners. I raised William as my own child and loved him as my own. He grew to be a fine man, and married Clara Chambers of Ogden, January 5, 1898. My second pair of twins, Isaac and Rebecca Burnhope, was born November 20, 1874, but died the 8th and 17th of November, 1875 at Ogden. The first pair of twins died with measles, and the second pair with whooping cough. My third pair of twins, Joseph and Mary Ann Burnhope were born October 10, 1877 at Ogden. In December of that year, we moved to North Ogden, Weber County, Utah, and bought us a home; later on we bought a large farm. We had had so much sorrow in Ogden that we felt a change would help us to feel better. My babies were young and I had to have help. Ellen Dudman and Mary Ann Jones worked for me and were like my own girls, I loved them very much; also many other girls besides those I have mentioned. I was sustained as president of the Primary Association of North Ogden, May 4, 1881 and held that position until June 21, 1902. I was sustained as counselor of the Y.L.M.I.A. on March 3, 1880 and released June 24, 1893. I was sustained counselor in the Relief Society February 17, 1893, and released February 5, 1907. I enjoyed my work in these organizations and the Lord blessed us all for there was love and harmony in our midst and success. My husband was set apart as bishop of the North Ogden Ward, July 9, 1882, and this added to my labors for all Church officials were entertained at our home who came to visit the ward. The Primary Association was preparing a concert and my little daughter, Mary Ann, was to sing a solo, 'Put Away the Little Dresses that our Darling Used to Wear.' Two days before the time for the concert, she was taken suddenly ill and lived only six hours. Brother Wallace was working in Ogden at the time and by the time we had found a man and buggy to bring him home, he was only home an hour when she passed away; she had been in convulsions the entire time of her sickness. Joseph lived to be a fine man and married Effie Allison, May 11, 1899. After my family was large enough, I studied obstetrics and practiced many years with great success; visiting among the sick whenever called upon made me happy. My sorrows and trials were many, but my greatest sorrow came to me when my husband died, April 15, 1897 at Ogden, Weber County, Utah. He was visiting at the home of Charles S. Richards and dropped dead. Being left without any income, I took school teachers to board until 1902. I rented my home and went to live with my daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Orson Hyde Hickenlooper at Pleasant View, Weber County, Utah. Since then, I have visited with my children and friends. I have enjoyed many blessings and comforts. On the 24th of April, 1913, I will be 80 years of age." [signed] Mary Ann Burnhope Wallace. Postscript from her daughter Elizabeth Charlton Wallace Hickenlooper: "On December 1, 1917, we moved to Groveland, Bingham County, Idaho. Mother was very happy in our new home; she liked Idaho. On October 27, 1918 at midnight, she passed away in her sleep, after an illness of six weeks. She had been ailing since May of that year, but was always patient and kind and bore suffering with great fortitude. She died a faithful Latter-day Saint."

      2. Partial and selected entries from husband's autobiography: "During these years of travel, which extended through England and Scotland, I suffered many privations and disappointments, but made many friends. I was twice engaged to be married, but fate decreed it otherwise. I married Mary Ann Burnhope, daughter of Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton the 9th of April, 1859, by Elder Joseph Stanford at Gateshead, Durnham County, England. Was officially married at the registrar's office May 9, 1859, at New Castle on Tyne, Northumberland, England... In 1860 I was appointed by President Asa Calkin to preside over Sheffield, Bradford, Hull, and Lincolnshire Conference. It was during my travels among the Saints that I became acquainted with my wife. She was a very lovely girl (who had a number of suitors) and fine looking. I was very fortunate for she married me. We crossed the ocean, leaving England the 23rd of April, 1861, on the good ship Underwriter. In the spring of 1862 we went to American Fork, Utah County, Utah, and expected to make our home, so bought a small piece of land which had one large log room on it, with willow and dirt roof, one small window. We made our first payment of $150.00 with some of our best clothes, among them my best suit of clothes, and my wife's best silk dress. We had no stove; there was a fire place in one end of our house and here we used a bake kettle for a long time... When I came home from the canyon in September, my wife had a nice surprise for me. On Sunday morning I said to her, 'I can't go to meeting today for I have no coat or vest to wear.' 'Well, perhaps you can wear the one on the bed there.' And to my great surprise there lay a very fine broadcloth coat and black velvet vest. She had borrowed the coat I sold and taken it and a large cape of hers and velvet jacket to the tailor of the village and had him make the coat and vest for me. From a silk waist, with large sleeves, she had made five ladie's bonnets and sold them for $5.00 each and bought us shoes so we went to meeting. In 1866 we sold our home and moved to Salt Lake City. I worked there for Stubbs and Kirkwood in a grocery store and bakery. Prior to our moving to Salt Lake City, we had made a visit there and been endowed and sealed to each other December 1862 in the Endowment House. While in Salt Lake City we became acquainted with Franklin D. Richards' family, and through their interest in us after they moved to Ogden we were induced to do the same, so in 1869 we moved to Ogden and where we again bought land and built us a home five blocks east from Washington Avenue on 25th Street. I worked for Z.C.M.I. for about 15 years, for L.D. Wilson, in the hardware business and for Richards Brothers in the Wholesale dry goods business. While I was building our house in Ogden a severe epidemic of smallpox broke out and I sent my family to Salt Lake City to live with her sister, Betsy Mattinson until the city would be clean from the terrible epidemic and by the time they could come back the house of three rooms was ready for them. Afterward, I added a room on the west end and a long room across the back, which covered the well and put a coal house on the east end of the long room so we were very comfortable. The 11th of February, 1873, I married Elvira Stowell, daughter of William R.R. Stowell and Sophronia Kelley. At that time the Church authorities were advising the brethren to go into Polygamy and I felt it my duty to obey council. My wife, Mary Ann, being willing, I brought her into our home and we lived together until after her son, William, was born, July 20, 1874, after which she moved to herself. She was a loveable character and my family were very fond of her. In the fall of 1876 another terrible epidemic broke out in Ogden. Smallpox and many died. Elvira was a victim. She died October 19, 1876, and Samuel, my son, died November 7, 1876. Everyone was so afraid of the disease that the dead were buried at night. No one came to help us. When Elvira died my good wife Mary Ann had nursed her during her sickness and when she died prepared her for burial, and I with the driver of a lumber wagon took her at midnight and buried her; her people never came near while she lay sick or when she was buried. I was allowed to take Samuel to bury him in the day time. From the time Elvira took sick until we were out of quarantine, 18 weeks, no one but the Drs. Anderson and Williams and a Mr. Embling who nursed us for a short time, ever crossed our doorstep. Elizabeth, Lizzie as we always called her, was very bad when Samuel died and we did not think she would live. I have suffered much, but still the Lord has been good to me. My wife Mary Ann did not take the smallpox. After the children were well I began looking about for a new home. We had suffered so much where we were that I felt a change of residence would help us all. I sold our home to P. Perry and bought a home in North Ogden from H.C. Wardley, a two-story adobe house and lot on the east side of the public square. October 19, 1877, my wife gave birth to twins, a boy and girl, Joseph and Mary Ann. On December 6, 1877, we moved to North Ogden. I still held my job in Ogden, and traveled back and forth to my work, going down on Monday morning and returning Saturday night. I walked most of the time for several years until Lizzie was older when she would take me as we owned a horse and buggy. For five years I was a home missionary, traveling over Weber County to preach to the Saints. Often my wife and daughter accompanied me. July 1882, I was made Bishop of North Ogden Ward. Before this I was ordained a High Counselor April 9, 1871 under the hands of Daniel H. Wells, Wilford Woodruff, Franklin D. Richards, and George Q. Cannon, George Q. being spokesman. Traveling to Ogden was very trying and my health broke so I secured a position with Sidney Stevens in a General Merchandise store in North Ogden and by so doing was able to be at home and attend to my duties as Bishop in the ward. About 1886 a fire destroyed the store and I was thrown out of work. My wife, being a midwife, persuaded me to stay at home so that she would be more at liberty, so I rented a small piece of land and raised a nice garden..."
