This nursing home along with the one at Meadows Manor made the news in November, 1973 after a tragic shooting. On November 23rd, 1973, 61 year old Lathie Jones went to Meadows Manor nursing Home and shot his great-aunt, Elda Mae VanLieu in the head. He then made his way to the Wallace Nursing Center and shot his 87 year old mother, Della Wimmer, also in the head.
