INTRODUCTION TO THE WILLIAM LUXON WALLACE COLLECTION

In May 1978 Mrs. Velma Wallace, wife of William Luxon Wallace, donated the Wallace family collection of records to Eastern Kentucky University. The records were scattered throughout the Wallace family house in Lexington. A small portion of the papers found in the basement and attic along with some World War I correspondence and reports Wallace kept in an old steamer trunk required fumigation and extensive cleaning. Since the bulk of the Wallace collection had no organization, the Archives staff imposed its own pattern of arrangement. The inventory to the collection describes material at the folder title level. In addition, a correspondent name index lists letters of content Wallace received from prominent persons. According to provisions of the Donor Gift Agreement the entire collection is open to research.

Through correspondence, diaries, speeches, photographs, newsclippings, and other primary source materials the public career and personal life of Wallace and his family is documented. Glimpses of late nineteenth century Richmond social and political life can be found in the correspondence of Wallace's father, Coleman Covington. In addition, due to Wallace's significance as an organizer in the Kentucky Republican Party, the collection sheds some light on the party's history during the first half of the twentieth century. The collection also contains political memorabilia which Wallace assembled along with' a. quantity of materials that documents his World War I experience.

The Archives is indebted to Mrs. Wallace and her family for donating the William Luxon Wallace Collection to Eastern Kentucky University for permanent preservation.


 
WILLIAM WALLACE: A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

William Luxon Wallace, lawyer and politician, was born in Richmond, Kentucky on January 2, 1889, the son of Coleman Covington Wallace and May Ballard Luxon. He had one sister, Coleman May Wallace. His father served as postmaster in Richmond from 1899 to 1915. The elder Wallace practiced law and was active in politics as a staunch defender of the Republican Party Wallace received his early education at Walters Collegiate Institute in Richmond and continued his preparatory education at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. In 1911 he graduated from Yale University Law School and in that same year established a law practice in Richmond. On July 16, 1923, Wallace married Velma Fay Nisius from Vanceburg, Kentucky. Their first child, a daughter, was born dead in May of 1924, four months premature. On June 19, 1925, another daughter, Wilma Fay, was born and on April 12, 1927, a son, William, Jr., was born. A fourth child, Patricia Coleman, was born on April 22, 1931.

On May 11, 1917, Wallace enlisted in the army for service in World War I. He was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, F.A. and served on the staff of Brig. Gen. H. H.

Summerall, Commander of the 5th Army Corps. While in France, he attended the University of Lyons where he studied International Law. He received an honorable discharge in 1919 and upon his return to Richmond resumed his legal and political career.

In 1921 Wallace was elected to the Kentucky State Senate from the 29th district. His opponent, R. C. Oldham, contested Wallace's election on the grounds that Wallace was not a resident of that district. The contest was dismissed, however, on the recommendation of a Senate committee. Wallace served as judge advocate general for Kentucky with the rank of major from 1921 to 1923 and was three times appointed as a Special Judge of the Court of Appeals from 1931 to 1940.

Turner, Jr. and Scott Reed in their firm. When Reed withdrew in 1964 to become a Fayette Circuit Court judge, the new firm of Wallace, Turner, and Trigg was established which was still in existence at the time of Wallace's death in 1974. From 1934 to 1936 Wallace served as assistant corporation counsel of the City of Lexington. He served as attorney and later director of the Citizens Union National Bank and Trust Company before becoming an advisory director.

Wallace had a deep interest in the development of Eastern Kentucky University, and on April 2, 1968, Governor Louie B. Numi appointed him to the Board of Regents. When that term ended on March 30, 1972, Wallace was Appointed to the Board by Governor Wendell Ford for another four years.

CORRESPONDENCE SERIES

Description:
The Correspondence Series consists of nine boxes of materials covering the years 1867 through 1978. Materials are arranged chronologically with undated letters found at the end- of Box 7 along with biographical information about Wallace. Boxes 8 and 9 contains fifteen folders of various undated greeting cards and one folder of original poems, also largely undated.

Most of the correspondence is of a personal nature although there is some correspondence concerning Wallace's law practice. Between 1867 and 1900 the correspondence consists mainly of letters to Wallace's mother, May B. Luxon with a few letters to C. C. Wallace, Wallace's father, concerning Republican Party activities. From 1901-1910 the correspondence concerns the various schools Wallace attended (Walters Collegiate Institute, Phillips Academy, Yale). Included are progress reports and dinner menus as well as letters between Wallace and his family. Beginning in 1916 and continuing through 1919 the correspondence deals with World War I and many interesting comments are made about the political and economic conditions of the time. There are a large number of letters between Wallace's mother and his sister, Coleman, while Coleman was attending the Conservatory of Music in Louisville. These letters offer an interesting look at the proper behavior expected from young women in the 1920s. Correspondence of the 1930s is mainly between family members along with some letters dealing with the 1936. state and national elections. The letters of the 1940s are largely between family members when the Wallace children were attending various schools. In the 1950s and 1960s a large quantity of political correspondence dealing with various elections, including the 1952 presidential election, are found. From 1968 to 1975 the correspondence concerns Eastern. The correspondence found after 1975 is that of Velma Wallace.

A few letters from prominent state figures appear in the correspondence. A correspondent name index immediately following this series lists letters received by Wallace from such persons.
