"Charles L. Wallace, editor of the 'South Side Observer' of Rockville Center, Long Island, was born in Ponsonby, Ontario, December 13, 1855, a son of Donald and Harriet (Lasby) Wallace. Hiw paternal grandparents were George and Margaret Wallace, who were natives of Scotland, and his maternal grandparents were Charles and Mary Lasby, natives of England. Donald Wallace, father of Charles L. Wallace, was born in Ross-shire, Scotland, February 14, 1816, from whence he emigrated to Caracas, South America, and thence to Ontario, and he subsequently removed to Pasadena, California. He was a farmer by occupation, but was also engaged for a time as a manufacturing chemist. In 1838 he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Lasby, who was born in London, England, in 1822; nine children were born to them, namely: John D., Lavinia M., George, Charles L., Albert J. Francis S., Matilda H., Alexander H. and Mary A. Wallace.

Harriet married Donald Wallace, son of George Wallace and Barbara Munro, in 1838. (Donald Wallace was born on 14 Feb 1816 in Mossfield Parish, Rosskeen, Ross-shire, Scotland and died in 1902 in Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., California, United States.)
