WOLF, M.D. An exceptionally gifted and able physician and surgeon, Doctor Wolf for many years has maintained his offices in the City of Dennison, and the work of his profession has been accompanied by an increasing share in business and civic responsibilities. He was born at Tuscarawas, Tuscarawas County, April 5, 1870, and his parents, John and Elizabeth (Schneider) Wolf, were natives of Germany. The grandparents of Doctor Wolf on both sides were founders of the families in Tuscarawas County. The father of Doctor Wolf was brought to this country at the age of eighteen, and his mother at the age of sixteen. The Schneider and Wolf families established their homes in the vicinity of Port Washington in Tuscarawas County. John Wolf was a prosperous farmer, and died in 1894, at the age of sixty-two. His wife passed away in 1893, aged fifty-three. They had a family of four children, John A., Charles R., Edmund A. and Louisa. The daughter is now deceased. Growing up on a farm, Edmund A. Wolf attended rural schools, graduated from the high school at Tuscarawas, and as a youth shaped his plans for a professional career. Entering the Georgia College of Eclectic Medicine and Surgery at Atlanta, he was graduated in February, 1892, and in the same year began his professional career at Dennison. He has had an active and constantly increasing practice, being very favorably known for his splendid work as a surgeon. He has kept in touch with the advancing progress in medicine as well as in surgery by post-graduate courses in Chicago, at the Mayo Brothers' Institution at Rochester, Minnesota, and elsewhere. Doctor Wolf is local surgeon for the Pennsylvania Railway company and a member of the Association of Pennsylvania Railway Surgeons. He is also a surgeon at the Twin City Hospital, and is a member of the Tuscarawas County, Ohio State and American Medical associations, and the Ohio and National Eclectic Medical institutes. Doctor Wolf has to his credit three terms of efficient service as mayor of Dennison, from the years 1907 to 1913. He has also been a member of the Board of Education. He was president of the Twin City National Bank before it was merged into the Dennison National Bank.
