Wallace L'Hommedieu (October 8, 1833 – February 8, 1916) was a politician from New York State who served in the New York State Assembly.
L'Hommedieu was born on October 8, 1833, in Shelby, New York.[1] He was a son of Henry L'Hommedieu (1799–1898) and Almira (née Hathaway) L'Hommedieu (1805–1888).[2]
Career
L'Hommedieu grew up in Shelby where he was a fruit farmer before becoming assessor of Shelby from 1869 to 1896.[3] In 1887, he was elected supervisor of Shelby, the first Republican elected to that position in eleven years. He was re-elected in 1888 and in 1889, declining a re-nomination in 1890. He served in the New York State Assembly from 1890 to 1891.[4][5]
