She is survived by three daughters and two sons, Miss Inez Wells of Kansas City, Mrs. Forrest Acton of Decatur, Mrs. Frank Barrett of Oakley, C. P. Wolfe of Battle Creek, Mich., Berkley E. Wolfe of the Hawaiian Islands. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Lydia Dowler, of Birch Tree, Mo. aged seventy-seven years, and a brother Leonard Enochs of Scottown, O. There are eight grandchildren. A brother, General Henry Enochs of Ironton, O., died a few years ago.
Three of her children, Mrs. Forrest Acton, Miss Inez Wolfe, and C. P. Wolfe were with her when the end came. Her youngest son, now in the Hawaiian Islands, would soon have made her a visit. He served twenty-two months in France and has been in the Hawaiian Islands for the last two years. She had seven brothers who served in the Civil war.
The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, March 21 at the Carroll & Mast chapel. The body was placed in a receiving vault in the Forest Hill cemetery until the return of her son.
