Wallace H. Webb served in the Illinois Volunteer Infantry, 39th Regiment; Company F during the U.S. Civil War. He and his cousin (?) Denzil Webb joined the Union Army at Chicago 16 Feb.1864. Wallace gave information he was age 18; but in reality he was one month short of his 17th birthday. Wallace mustered into service at Chicago 29 Feb. 1864 and served continuously through the Shenandoah Valley Campaigns, on to Petersburg, Richmond and finally Appomattox until mustered out at Norfolk VA on 6 Dec. 1865. At the time of mustering out he had an unspecified illness and did not assemble with the unit. After returning to Illinois he married Elenora Jones, dau. of Clark and Charlotte Jones.
In 1905 Wallace and Elenora were living at Kenosha with their sons Hart and Glen. But by 1910; Wallace was residing at Milwaukee in the National Soldier's Home (Northwestern Branch); while his wife Elenora is residing with her eldest son Harry J., wife Tracy, and their two boys Clarence and George at Kenosha.
Perhaps Wallace was too ill to continue living at home. Being a veteran, Wallace was entitled to live at any National Soldier's Home even if he had no war injury and was free to come and go if able. Wallace continued living here until his death in 1929. Wallace is buried in the Wood National Cemetery at Milwaukee, adjacent to the National Soldier's Home; while Elenora is buried in Hickory Union Cemetery at Antioch.
