Burial  John may have been buried in the Burson (formerly) Fulkerson Cemetery in Washington County where fragments of an old stone appear to read: Wallace, _____, Jr., b. 21 _____ 1851 - 11 Oct. 1854. It is also possible the stone belonged to his brother Charles who died in October 1854, also of flux. The information salvaged from the stone is not entirely accurate for either boy.4
