• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY Emily Christina Trueman, daughter of Alfred William Trueman and Elizabeth Ann Humphreys, was born in Wellington in 1886. She attended Mount Cook Girls School in Wellington. In 1910 Emily married Alfred Gilbert Wallace in Wanganui. Alfred was the son of Joseph Wallace and Sarah Spurdle. Alfred, a pastry cook, and Emily had a shop that catered for travellers in the Square, Palmerston North. There is a photograph of Emily outside her shop which sold confectionary. The railway line passed along Main Street through the Square at that time, with the station in the Square, and train passengers bought refreshments at the shop. The railway and station was moved to the outskirts of Palmerston North in 1964-1966. Alfred and Emily had four children. Emily died in 1944 and Alfred in 1950, both in Palmerston North. They were buried in Kelvin Grove Cemetery, Palmerston North.
