    WOLF - Mary A. Wolf was born on Cedar Creek, in Hardin county, Virginia, April 9th, 1791, and died at the residence of her son-in-law, Stephen Vaughn, seven miles east of Jackson, May 12th 1878, aged 87 years, 1 month and 3 days.
    She lost her mother when but four years old. She joined the M.E. Church in her 19th year, under the administration of Rev. Charles Waddle, and lived a faithful and consistent member until her death, covering the long period of 68 years. She moved to Ohio in 1808 and was joined in marriage to John Parrill, Feb. 2nd 1817, and of this marriage she became the mother of seven children, thirty-two grand children, and nineteen great grand children, making in all fifty-eight. Three children, two daughters and one son and nine grand children and one great grand child preceded her to the grave, and four children, two sons and two daughters, and twenty-three grand children and eighteen great grand children are left to mourn her departure. She lost her companion in 1853. He served a term in the war of 1812, and closed up life in great peace. Sister Parrill was a great sufferer in her last years. She lost her eyesight about twelve years before her death, and nearly entirely paralyzed for aobut five years before her death. She bore up under her affliction with great Christian fortitude. When spoken with regard to the future, she said all was well. The last week of her illness she said that she expected soon to bloom as the rose. Her funeral was first preached at the residence where she died, by the Rev. W. H. Gibbons, of the Ohio Conference of the M.E. Church, from Hebrews iv, 9, and then at Beaver Chapel, Beaver Circuit, Ohio Conference by the writer, from Deuteronomy xxxii, 48-49.
