This postcard was mailed on Nov 11, 1907 to Miss K. E. Murphy, 464 Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine. The sender mentions the death of Monsigner Wallace whom he refers to as a "great noble soul". Upon further research, I found the following interesting bits of information about Monsigner Wallace.
From: http://www.la-mag.com/shamrocks-on-the-androscoggin-irish-settlers-of-la/
"St. Patrick’s on Bates Street next to Kennedy Park was the second Irish church in Lewiston; the first Mass there was celebrated Christmas Eve, 1890. St. Patrick’s was the brainchild of Father (later Monsignor) Thomas H. Wallace, pastor at St. Joseph’s. Wallace was of Irish stock, his immigrant parents settling in Somersworth, NH. Wallace came to Lewiston in 1876, and anticipated St. Patrick’s as merely a second church in one parish, which he managed for four years. By 1894 the St. Joseph’s parishioners wanted their own priest, and Wallace moved to St. Patrick’s. Aside from founding St. Patrick’s, Wallace founded both the St. Joseph’s and St. Patrick’s parochial schools, and served 29 years on the public school committee, several years as chair."
There is also an elusive mention of Monsigner Wallace in a SunMedia article which unfortunately I could not read as it is blocked and only paid subscribers can view it. The preamble on the internet reads "For 102 years, the body of Monsignor Thomas Wallace lay behind an iron gate and a wall of cement in the basement of his church. But on Saturday morning, he ..." One can only assume from this, that the body was moved for some reason in 2009. Sadly, St Patrick's Church was closed probably at about the same time and the latest use for the building was as a movie set in 2012 for a comedy based on Shakespeare's Richard III.
