Canadian O. C. S. Wallace served as pastor of First Baptist, Baltimore, from 1908 to 1913 before returning to Canada. In 1921, at age sixty-five, he accepted a call to Eutaw Place, where he became one of the city’s most popular pastors. In the interim between these Maryland pastorates, his stepson, a Fellow at Johns Hopkins, died fighting in France. One week after hearing the news, the grieving pastor’s wife died in a gas stove accident.
