Book Title: Biographical History Of Barton County

THE WOLF MILLING CO.



   The Wolf Milling Company's establishment at Ellinwood is one of the largest

and best equipped flour mills in the state of Kansas, and its products have had

a great deal to do with earning Barton County's enviable reputation as a

producer of the best of milling wheat. The mill is operated by John Wolf and his

son, Fred. It was established in 190S, and has a capacity of 600 barrels per

day. Since the first mill building and elevator was erected in the year

mentioned additions have been made from time to time and the machinery and

process in use have been kept up to the highest standard. John Wolf is one of

the old timers of the county having come here from Ohio in 1877. He was born in

Bremen. Germany, November 23, 1848. He was married in Toledo, Ohio, to Miss Kate

Haas, July 5, 1871, and it was in that city that Fred was born May 23, 1872.

Fred was married to Miss Lotta Schaefer of Kansas City, Mo., July l, 1901, and

they are the parents of two children, one of whom is an infant at this writing,

and the other being John Frederick. The elder Mr. Wolf has another child, Kate,

who is now Mrs. George M. Heim of Ellinwood. The mill buildings and surroundings

cover about a square block of ground and in addition to this interest the elder

Mr. Wolf owns considerable town property in Ellinwood and Great Bend as well as

two sections of farm land in the county of Barton. The flour sold under the name

of "Wolf's Premium" has made a most gratifying record wherever it has been used

and reflects great credit on the establishment where it is made. The Wolf family

is one of the best known in this section of the state, the members of it being

enterprising and progressive and among the most substantial citizens of the county.
