David N. Wolf, veteran of the Civil War, was born in Pennsylvania, of sturdy
Pennsylvania-Dutch stock, and was there educated and reared. As a young man 
he enlisted in the Civil War, served with valor in many of its conflicts, was
severely wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville, and was confined in an
army hospital nearly a year. Upon his discharge he worked for a while as a
carpenter and builder. Then he came west and settled near Monroe City, Green
County, Wis. There he renewed his acquaintance with Catherine Bressler, whom
he had known in Pennsylvania, and whose family had settled just over the line
from Green County, in Stephenson County, Ill. They started housekeeping in
Monroe City, where Mr. Wolf worked in a planing mill in the winter and devoted
his time to his trade as a builder in the summer. Later they moved to a farm
in the same county where they still reside. They are the parents of eight
children: Perry U. is a prosperous farmer of Barron County; Oscar is a farmer
and school teacher of Stephenson County, Ill.; Jennie is the wife of Charles
Priewe, of Green County, Wis.; Arthur is school principal at Appleton, Wis.;
John has a garage and machine shop in Lena, Ill.; George is a farmer in
Geneseo, Ill.; Edwin is on the home farm in Green County, Wis.; and Frank, 
who lives in Monroe City, Wis., is with the Badger State Cheese Co.
