My Aunt has the middle name Wallace and we think it is after Maggie Wallace. She was a friend of my Grandmother. My Grandmother died in 1927 so is this possible? Apparently Maggie lived at the top of Arkley Street Dundee.
The photos do not seem to be related to Hermon or any of the folk there..
Hermon was engaged in many forms of Christian outreach including Children's work and open air mission. It was very Evangelical in it's outreach to the community. At it's height probably had about 300 members with a very strong contact between families . it is possible that Maggie would move between Salvation Army and Hermon - perhaps Hermon in the morning and SA in the evening - but no-one around who knew her personally now.
Hope this is of some help

My Grandfather was Hall Keeper at Hermon Hall and laterly my uncle did the same job. The church existed from 1914 until 2007. Maggie Wallace is a name I remember being mentioned in my family and she was highly respected by the Christians meeting at Hermon. If you want to know more please post a message and I'll ask around. Possible most folk who knew her have died but my uncle probably knows a bit.
