We remember Wallace at St. George’s in two areas:

Wellington Wallace served the second longest term on the St. George’s vestry , first from Dec. 3, 1881- April 18, 1881 and then from March 26, 1883 to Dec. 31, 1922.  The total years was 42, half of his 84 years.  He was also a trustee of St. George’s beginning in 1902.   He served St. George’s both at the Diocese level and General Convention.

Secondly, he was extremely generous to the church. A. Wellington Wallace left $6,100 to the Benevolent  Society for the “benefit of needy, poor widows of the city of Fredericksburg over fifty years of age, in the months of December, January, February, and March for their imminent need each year.”   This became a separate fund in his name with $5,000 invested in bonds.  Towards the end of his life in 1926 he donated $500 to the church debt retirement fund which was matched by the Vestry members at the time.

His wife also provided gifts to the church. Victoria S. Wallace donated 9 stained glass windows to the Church in January, 1908
