Lexington Wolf
The subject of this sketch was born in Harrison county, Indiana, Sept. 8, 
1824, and became a resident of Floyd county, same state, in boyhood. His 
father, John Henry Wolf and his mother, Elizabeth (Bolander) Wolf, have both 
gone to their reward. Our subject was united in wedlock Aug. 18, 1850, in New 
Albany, Floyd Co., Ind., to Elizabeth F. Pollard. The issue of this union is 
six children, their births occurring in the order here given – Mary E., 
Charles H. dec., Sarah H., dec., Annabell dec., Thomas L. and Augusta W. dec. 
His wife was a native of Virginia, born May 26, 1827; her father, George 
Pollard has passed away, as also has her mother, Jane (Oglesby). Comrade Wolf 
was a pilot of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers at the breaking out of the late 
Rebellion and was 30 years of age at that time. He was enrolled in the U.S. 
Navy in 1862 in New Albany, Ind., as a pilot on flag-ship “Autocrat”, Marine 
Brigade. He was ill during the Siege of Vicksburg with scurvy and was treated 
for same on board vessel. He was granted a leave of absence of ten days and 
returned to duty at expiration of time. He took active part in the engagements 
of the Marine Brigade and was honorably discharged July, 1865, at New Orleans, 
La. His father, John H. Wolf served in the U.S. army as drummer boy during the 
War of 1812. Our subject passed away Sept. 4, 1883. His widow has a pension 
and the family address is New Albany, Ind. 

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
