George A. Wolff was born on April 23, 1876 in Poland. George served in the U.S. Cavalry in 1898- 1899. He became a naturalized citizen via his military service. He was a small man but full of life. George Albert Wolff, born Aldabertus Wojciech Witkowski in Haczów, Podkarpackie, Poland, died on May 27, 1952 in Eagle River, Wisconsin, having lived a good life of 76 years.

Family oral history implies he acted as a tailor for Teddy Roosevelt when he was in the supply company of the U.S. Cavalry during the Spanish- American War.

Two of his sons are buried in Wheaton, Illinois at Saint Michael's Cemetery. "G. Wolff" is engraved on the headstone even though he is not buried at that site. His two boys buried in that plot are Edmund "Eddie" Wolff (# 89473358) and Theodore Wolff (#36064119).
