To this union, nine children were born - Henry, Edward, Mildred, August, Irene, and Louise, all at home and who join with their grief-stricken father in mourning the loss of a beloved and dutiful mother and wife. Three children preceded their mother in death. Funeral services will be conducted from the late home, southwest of Chebanse, this Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and from Chebanse Zion Lutheran Church, with Rev. W Winter officiating, at 2 o'clock. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery. During the years of her residence in this community, Mrs. Wolfe won the love and esteem of all who had the privilege o fknowing her, both as neighbor and friend.
