Wolfe Ironton Register, May 28, 1891 AN OLD CITIZEN'S DEATH. --------------- Scott Town, Ohio; May 25th 1891. EDITOR REGISTER--On last Wednesday evening, May 20th 1891, Celia A. Wolfe, one of the oldest and most respected neighbors of this vicinity, died suddenly at the age of 85 years, she having been born in Virginia, Sept. 14 1806. Mrs. Wolfe was the widow of George F. Wolfe, who died a few years ago at the advanced age of 93 years. The writer became acquainted with these people in the Spring of 1857, and they were considered old folks then. The home of Mr. Wolfe, just across the creek from Scott Town, was known throughout the county by the traveler as one of the most hospitable homes in the county. Mr. Wolfe was wont to entertain his friends and callers with a history of the early days of "Old Virginia," and many a night the writer has listened and urged him to tell of his younger days, until driven off to bed under threat of being caned. Six children survive these aged people, five of whom attended her funeral at the beautiful cemetery near Locust Grove, where her husband is buried. One son lives in Illinois and was not present. A large number of grandchildren yet survive throughout this county and vicinity, and also great grandchildren. The old landmarks are passing away one by one, and with this family the head of one the oldest families in Lawrence county, and perhaps one of the best known families in the back portions of the county. Two sons of the deceased served during the late war and yet survive. One of them, Calvin P. Wolfe, lives at Ironton; the other in Illinois. The father of these children, and husband of the deceased, served in the war of 1812. Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe were the old time, kind hearted hospitable people for which Virginians are well known, and their home was always open to the traveler whether he had money or was penniless. Sister Wolfe was a member of the M. E. church, and though summoned suddenly, was prepared for the change that awaits us all sooner or later. A. FRIEND. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V98 Issue #42 ******************************************
