    3. The Washington Republican Washington County Friday May 21, 1897 Aaron WOLF was born in Lancaster, Penn., Aug.9, 1837, and departed this life at his home in Washington, Kan., May 14, 1897, aged 59 years, 9 months, and 3 days. He was married to Elizabeth NESINGER, Aug. 30, 1866. Nine children were born unto them, five of whom died in infancy, while two sons and two daughtes, with their mother remain to mourn their loss. Mr. Wolf was a soldier and served his country for more that three years having enlisted twice in Company I, of the 79th, Reg. of Penn. Mr. Wolf came to Washington county about 18 years ago and has lived her ever since except one year he lived in Missouri. He was converted and united with the U.B. church about A.D. 1870, and lived right for five or six years, when like many other he fell from grace, and being too honest to keep up a profession and thus lived until his last sickness when he sought and again claimed pardon at the hands of the most mericful Savior. Let prayer be offered for his wife and children that they may be prepared to meet him in that land where sorrow and death shall never come. The funeral services were held in the Free Methodist church May 16, at 2 o'clock p.m., where the writer preached to a large congregation of sympathising friends, also to his comrades of the G.A.R. who took charge of the remains and interred them in the cemetery south of town.
