Historical Note: The key individuals whose activities comprise the Wallace-Mathews Collection are:

Harry A. Wallace Sr., president of United Fuel Gas Company. The son of David Wallace and Rachel Ann Mullin, he was born in Oil City, Pennsylvania, in 1873. He participated in the gas industry with his father before coming to West Virginia in 1898 to work for Hope Natural Gas in Wetzel County. He moved to Charleston in 1912 after becoming general superintendent of United Fuel and rose to the presidency in 1927. Wallace also served terms as president of the Natural Gas Association of America and the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association.

Harry Wallace married Mary Elizabeth Beck, daughter of Solomon Beck and Hannah Jane Schwab who was born in Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1869. Her siblings included Joe, William, Sadie, and Matilda Beck. They were the parents of Mildred Wallace Riddle, Harry Alvin Wallace Jr., Virginia Wallace Riggs, Frank Wallace, and Robert Wallace.

Harry A. Wallace Jr., born in Wetzel County, attended Charleston High School, Greenbrier Military Academy, and Dartmouth College, where he excelled in sports. He followed his father into the natural gas industry and served as president of the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association and of United Fuel. Among his other activities, he headed the Charleston Parks and Recreation Commission for several years and played a role in recruiting the Toledo Mud Hens to Charleston to become the Charleston Senators.

Wallace married Elisabeth Mathews, daughter of William Burdette Mathews and Elisabeth Blundon Mathews, in 1930 after a long courtship. A graduate of Charleston High and Sweet Briar College, she was active in organizations such as the Junior League and served a year as president of the state Junior League during World War II. The Wallaces had three children: Elisabeth (Dolly) Hartman, Harry A. Wallace III, and William Wallace.

Elisabeth Wallace's father was William Burdette Mathews, longtime clerk of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. The son of Civil War veteran Christopher Columbus Mathews and Esther Jane Scott, Mathews grew up in Marshall County and owned property at Round Bottom that once had belonged to George Washington. He graduated from Waynesburg College and Columbian (now George Washington) University, and after practicing law for a few years in Washington, DC, and Moundsville, moved to Charleston. Mathews was active in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Epworth League, the Elks and other organizations, and served as state chair of the Four Minute Men during World War I.

Mathews married Elisabeth Blundon in 1900. She was descended from a long line of Kanawha Valley residents going back through her mother Sarah Young Blundon to Revolutionary War patriot John Young. Her father, Edgar B. Blundon, and grandfather, John Valley Young, were veterans of the Civil War. She was active in the M.E. Church, the Woman's Club, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and both she and her husband were involved in the 1930s with the Grandparents Club. William and Elisabeth Mathews were the parents of Sarah Esther Gilchrist and Elisabeth Wallace.

Harry Wallace III, son of Harry and Elisabeth Wallace, attended Charleston High School, Kentucky Military Institute, and the University of Virginia. He was a longtime stock broker and insurance agent in Charleston. He was involved in numerous activities, including the Rotary Club, and served on the Kanawha County School Board in the 1980s. In 1962, he married Mary Louise Merrill, daughter of John Buffington Merrill and Mary Louise Agnew, and they were the parents of four children.
