JOSEPH A. WOLFE may be mentioned as a prominent farmer of Busseron Township.
He was born in Sullivan County, Ind., February 9, 1841, and is the eldest of
three sons of Uriah Wolfe, who was born in Virginia in 1817, and was reared
in Sullivan County, Ind.  He was married in that county, and has passed his
life on the farm, where he now lives.  Two of his sons are living in
Sullivan County.  The mother, Eliza Garrett, was born and reared in Greene
County, Ind., where she died in 1841.  Joseph A. was educated in the common
schools of his native county.  When about twenty-four years of age he married
and began doing business for himself.  After living in Sullivan County about
five years, he located on his present farm, near Oaktown, where he has
prospered, and now owns 140 acres of land in Knox County and seventy acres
in Sullivan County.  His home farm is well improved and very fertile.  
November 4, 1863, he was married to Eliza B. Fry, who was born February 10,
1846, and died May 10, 1868, leaving one child, Herbert E., who is now a
teacher of Busseron Township.  Mr. Wolfe's second marriage took place
January 20, 1870, uniting him to Mary Kackley, daughter of Elias and Lucy
Kackley.  She was born in Kentucky March 30, 1837, and is a member of the
Christian Church.  Mr. Wolfe is a very zealous Democrat, and is highly
respected as a moral and upright man.
