Fred Leonard Wallace s/o Fredercik and Margaret Ann (French) Wallace born on 23 Jan 1839 in the part of Manchester known as Piscataquog, then a portion of Bedford. His father one of the pioneers of the city of Manchester was employed in many important capacities for the great manufacturing corporations in their early years.He was also prominent in politics being a member of the board of aldermen in 1847. the son attended the city schools in his boyhood and at the age of sixteen went to work in David McColley's bookstore, one of the well-known institutions of the day. Later he was appointed assistant postmaster under David J. Clark, brother of Hon. Daniel Clark, and during his term of office, from 1861 to 1865, the system of free delivery was established in Manchester. In 1869 Mr. Wallace entered the service of Charles S. Fisher, the city undertaker, who at the time was the only one in that business within a circuit of twenty miles. The city undertaker was then annually appointed by the board of aldermen as one of the regular municipal officers, the city owning the hearse and other property pertaining to the business. In company with Moses O. Pearson, Mr. Wallace bought out Mr. Fisher in 1872, and the firm of Pearson & Wallace began its successful career. Upon Mr. Pearson's death, Hon. Alfred G. Fairbanks became a partner, and the firm name was changed to F. L. Wallace & Co., its present style. Mr. Wallace has always been a progressive man, seeking to develop the possibilities of his calling. Fitted by nature for its delicate and difficult duties, that require for their proper fulfilment not only kindness but tact, he has been a friend and comforter in many a bereaved home, while he has also introduced into the undertaking art many improvements and practices that have become universal among undertakers. In a word, he has kept Manchester ahead of sister cities in all that pertains to his profession. Mr. Wallace was married, in 1861, to Josephine, daughter of Joel Fife of Pembroke, and four children— Fred A., Lulu B., George P., and Cyrus W. — have been added to the family, all of whom are living except the last, who died at the age of four years and six months. Mrs. Wallace died in 1871, and in 1875 Mr. Wallace married Sarah E. White of Manchester, daughter of Capt. William White of Portsmouth. He is a member of the First Congregational church, of Agawam Tribe of Red Men, and the Royal Society of Good Fellows, and is, withal, one of the most popular and progressive men of the Oueen City.

Frederick married Sarah E. White, daughter of William A. White and Joanna L. Bell, on 21 Oct 1874 in Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. (Sarah E. White was born in 1841 in Portsmouth, Rockingham County, New Hampshire and died on 25 Mar 1923 in Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.)
