Dutch and Edith Adcock Vallance are buried in the Old Fairview Cemetery, Memphis, Hall Co., Texas in the Vallance plot with Henry and Anna Pearl. Dutch and 1st wife Edith moved to California in the late 1930's and remained there until her death. Dutch worked at odd jobs while there. After his return to Texas and marriage to his 2nd Edith he worked in the grocery business. He was also a night watchman for the Memphis Police Department for several years. After his retirement from the grocery and police business he was a used car salesman. I remember he was a lot of fun and he liked to joke around.
