Wallace Woodworth
Wallace Woodworth (July 28, 1832 – September 13, 1882) was a wealthy businessman and rancher in Los Angeles County, California, United States, in the 19th century.[1][2] He came to Los Angeles County in 1853 and lived with his uncle, Isaac Williams, on the Chino Ranch, of which the young man became manager.[6] Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1858,[1][2] Woodworth bought the interest of James D. Brady in a furniture business co-owned by William H. Perry.[2][7] In 1872, S. H. Mott became a partner and the firm disposed of the furniture business and became "one of the largest and wealthiest" lumber yards in Los Angeles.[10] Woodworth is remembered with a large burial vault at Evergreen Cemetery, designed by A. C. Thompson, a leading memorialist of his time.
