Perry U. Wolf, a prosperous farmer of Barron Township, was born in Monroe
City, Green County, Wis., Feb. 23, 1868, son of David N. and Catherine
(Bressler) Wolf. He was reared on the home farm and after his marriage started
homemaking on the farm of his grandfather, William Bressler, in Stephenson
County, Ill. In the fall of 1908 he purchased the McKinney farm of 160 acres,
section 16, Barron Township, this county, and moved into the place in February
of the following year. The farm was already a good one, but Mr. Wolf set about
to still further improve it. Especially, did he devote his attention to the
home, installing running hot and cold water, a furnace, electric lights and
other conveniences. In 1915 he sold the north eighty, leaving him a good place
of 80 acres of well improved land. He has good buildings and adequate
equipment, and carries on general farming and dairying, making a specialty of
a good grade of Holstein cattle and Chester White swine. The place is only two
miles from Barron, with a good road all the way. Mr. Wolf has always been a
strong temperance advocate and has lived to see his hopes realized in a dry
country. He still retains his membership in the United Evangelical Church in
Green County, Wis. Mr. Wolf was married Nov. 24, 1898, to Minnie Boeck, born
Aug. 2, 1876, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Boeck, of Green County, Wis. This
union has resulted in three children. D. Irving was born Feb. 26, 1910; Evelyn
0. was born Nov. 20, 1903; and Merlyn E. was born May 28, 1916. All live at
home, Irving assisting on the farm, and Evelyn helping with the household
duties.
