   WILLIAM H. H. WOLF was born in Clark County, Ohio, June 21, 1840, and is the
son of Conrad and Hannah (Williams) Wolf, both natives of Ohio, and of German
and Irish descent. His paternal great-grandfather was a Hessian soldier, who was
bought by the English, and at the battle at Trenton, N. J., was taken prisoner.
After this he joined the colonial forces. In 1848, Conrad Wolf located on a farm
in Champaign County, Ohio, where our subject worked until he was fourteen years
old. They then came to Grant County, Ind., and located near Marion in the
forest. Our subject enlisted, August 10, 1863, in Company K, One Hundred and
Eighteenth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, in the six months' service,
participating in the battle at Ray-burn and Blue Springs. He subsequently
enlisted in Company G, Twenty-fifth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and was
in the Georgia campaign, in the siege of Savannah, and in the battle of
Bentonville. At the close of the war, he engaged in farming and the saddlery
business at various points, and subsequently, about 1870, he purchased his
present home of seventy acres, erected a hewed-log house, and has since redeemed
fifty acres of heavy timber land and has it well improved. Mr. Wolf was married,
December 12, 1861, to Miss Kezia Cain, of Randolph County, Ind. She was born
June 15, 1840, and is the daughter of Ambrose and Esther (Smith) Cain. Five
children have blessed this union-Conrad, a teacher; Ebenezer, a farmer; John
William, Elva Esther and Hannah J. Mr. Wolf and wife are members of the
Christian Church. He is a stanch supporter of Republican principles, and has
held some of the minor offices of the township.
