The life of John Wolf was life
full of honest toll, and one crown
ed with success. He was a stone
mason by trade and many walks
and chimneys are still standing as
the works of his hands.
He spent about % yrs. of his
life as resident of Hooking Co.
He was honored by the township
in which he lived by being elected
to the various Township offices, in
these he always served we'll. Dur
ing the time of the Civil war he
also took an active part in assist
ing others to obtain substitutes.
In the year '73 he removed to
Perry Co. where he passed his re-
naming days. Here as in Hook
ing Co. he was also ,honored with
various Township offices. He was
a man well and widely known by
his earnestness and honesty of
purpose, he has left behind a
character creditable to his name.
His friends are host, his life as
an open book lies before us and we
know it well, we know his virtues
and failings his struggles and sue
cesses. 1t is worthy of note, that
after his days of usefulness were
passed he could spend his last
years in peace and quietness in the
love of his own children. He
made his home with his son Sam.
uel where he lived in peace and
happiness. But his life work il
finished, that familiar form goes
out from among us, that pleasant
voice is hushed and stilled. As
we assembled TO pay our last re-
spects, to lay our token of love up
on his bier, to see his mortal re-
mains laid away in their last rest
ing place, we cannot help but b
impressed that another COLDER
sheaf ripe for the harvest has beer
gathered into the garners of tn,
Lord. He was lifelong member
Of Ev. Lutheran Church.
He loved his church, her teach
ings and confessions, they wer,
dear to him and he was he
staunch defender. In Mis- las
years his Holy Scripture was hi
constant companion, he could re
cognize an evangelical sermon ant
he could appreciate it. 1t was il
the triumph of the christian faitl
that he peacefully fell asleep to b,
awakened in eternity, and NAV W,
not truly say of him, he has Tough
good fight, he has finished hi
course, he has kept the faith, h,
has received his crown of righteous
ness.
