From History of Tama County:
Wallace B. Louthan, of the law firm of Stivers and Louthan, Toledo, was born December 22, 1851 at Troy, Ohio, his parents being Dr. John B. and Mary M. (Mikesell) Louthan. The family having removed from the 'Buckeye State' settled on Richland Creek Valley, Tama county, in March 1855, where his father, being a physician, practiced medicine and opened up a small farm. In 1860 the family moved to Helena, this county, and there they carried on a large stock farm during a period of about twenty-one years. W.B. worked on the farm in summer and attended common school in winter, till he was 20 years old, at which age he attended the Tama City high school for one year, and afterwards completed the sophomore year of the philosophical course, in the Iowa State University. He has taught in Tama, Marshall and Ida counties, of this State, and one term in Ohio. He is of a sandy complexion, about five feet and seven inches high, average weight about 135 pounds. W.B. early desired to make the practice of law his life occupation, and accordingly, in 1879, entered the law offices of Stivers and Bradshaw at Toledo, Ohio, where, after one year's close reading, he was admitted to the bar February 24, 1880 and on the evening of the same day was married to Miss Lillie V. Stivers, the youngest daughter of William H. Stivers, the senior partner of the firm. Lillie is of a sterling type of American womanhood; she is intelligent, practical and in every way an amiable lady and well worthy of her life partner. They have two children, both girls. Mr. Louthan succeeded Mr. Bradshaw in January, 1881, as a partner of Mr. Stivers in the law business. He is meeting with good success in the profession.
