Luella had a facility for language and was a very gifted writer. See for example her poem and her lament--the latter written when Luella was 18--on the death of her sister Lura, in Lura's memorial.
Luella married Edwin S. Wolfe on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, 1890, in Keene, Ionia Co., Mich. They had met as students at Spring Arbor Seminary, a Free Methodist institution founded in 1873. Between graduation from Spring Arbor and marriage to Edwin, she had taught school.
(A minor consequence of Luella's Spring Arbor Seminary matriculation was that French toast in the Wolfe family was thereafter referred to as "Spring Arbor toast." As an economical student, she had found that an egg went further that way.)
Luella and Edwin began married life in Lake Ariel, Wayne County, Penna., before moving to Milford, Pike County, Penna., in 1899.
Luella was an early leader in the Women's Suffrage and Prohibition movements in northeastern Penna., and served as president of the Pike County, Penna., chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She supported the Prohibition Party but would not be able to vote until she was 55. She was a member of the Milford Methodist Episcopal Church.
Luella also was a member of the Garret Hobart Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Paterson, N.J.
She was assisted in her family, which consisted of her spouse and five children, by two maids and a cook. Their spacious home, at 215 W. Catharine St., Milford, Penna., had been built by Edwin in 1898.
Luella's essay "The Utility of Art" speaks of her faith and her social consciousness. It ends thus:
It is an exalted privilege to live in this age, to rejoice in the victories of the past and aid in achieving the still more glorious victories of the future.
They are coming, a countless multitude, the children of the new century with trustful faces turned heavenward and aspirations that clasp Truth in all its beauty.
From throbbing hearts and hurrying lips comes the inspiring cry--Onward! Yet not in this life, for this life is but the infancy of being, shall the sublimity of man's high destiny be realized, but when the spiritual is freed from its earth-chains and the eternal light shines through the pearly gates its depth of meaning will be fathomed: "To glorify God and enjoy Him forever."
