| Visit the Harry M. Holden page. Harry was a stage and screen actor during the late 1800's and early 1900's. He was associated early in his career with the Graham Earle troupe, but later had many minor parts in movies. His connection to the Wallace family is slight, as he was a friend of Julia Smethurst Foster, granddaughter of James S. Wallace. |
| Visit the Agatha Singleton page. Angela was a stage actress during the late 1800's. She was associated with the Graham Earle troupe, and with Earle she adopted and reared a daughter who became known as "Little Fern" on the stage. Her connection to the Wallace family is very slight, as Julia Smethurst Foster, granddaughter of James S. Wallace, had a photo of Agatha in an album. No other connection os known with certainty. |
