Obit, May, 1881
DIED.
WOLF--At her home near this city, Thursday, May 12th, 1881, Mrs. Alice, wife of Hon. W. P. Wolf, in the forty-second year of her age.
Mrs. Wolf was born in Stark County, Ohio, July 15th, 1839. She removed with her parents, Samuel and Mary Macy, to Cedar County, Iowa, in 1851, and was married to Mr. W. P. Wolf in 1859. There were eight children born to them, two of whom are dead. The sickness which resulted in her death continued ten weeks. Whether at home or in society, Mrs. Wolf always manifested a kind, gentle, loving and cheerful disposition. "Not counting her own life dear unto herself," she sought to do good. She suffered without complaint, and rarely ever referred to it even to those most intimate. Unselfish in her services, patient in endurance, and strong in christian faith, dying as she had lived. She was a true wife and mother, as shown in the home which she left, and was loved by all who knew her.
The funeral services were conducted at the home of the deceased, on the Saturday, following her death, by the pastor of the Tipton Congregational Church, assisted by Revs. Lee and Minord. The remains were taken to the Honey Grove meeting house, where a large number of friends and relatives had gathered. Touching and appropriate remarks were then made by an aunt of the deceased. She was buried according to the custom of the Society of Friends, of which she was a member at the time of her death.
She, with the family, worshipped with the Congregational Society, at Tipton, where she will be greatly missed. But our loss is her unspeakable gain. The bereaved family and relatives have the warm sympathy of a large circle of friends.
