Death

John Lukens Wallis was one of the heirs of John Lukens, and was cut off in his will by the word "propitious." There were seven heirs and the estate, which was large, was to be divided among them at the most "propitious" time, but it never came in their lifetimes. John Lukens Wallis was a great lover of the chase and made "a happy hunting ground of this earth." He died, July 27, 1863, and lacked but four months and three days of being ninety years old. His remains lie in the cemetery at Hughesville.
