(1850-1911) Helped Houston East & West Texas Railroad found this town by opening a store here with a relative in 1885. In 1886, he and his wife Nancy built this house, a smaller copy of his old home in North Carolina. Sociable and with the first piano in town, the family had a preacher's room for circuit riders. A son and friends originated a noted drill cadence, Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo, and Blair. W. H. Wall II ran a drugstore in Tenaha 50 years; three generations of the family have occupied the house, which has been remodeled.
