"A.F. Wolf is dead." Such were the words which passed from lip to ear all over Fayetteville last afternoon when it became known that Mr. Wolf, after a long and brave fight, finally yielded to the last great enemy. The end came at 3 o'clock and was tranquil. For days it was sincerely hoped that he might, after all, recover though the physicians could give little encouragement. But to those who were familiar with the strenuous battle he was fighting, hope fled some days ago and the end was hourly expected. Friends and loved ones were summoned and awaited the dreaded hour. Fayetteville has lost one of her most progressive and enterprising citizens in the death of A.F. Wolf. No one man in the history of the town has ever done so much to attract the attention of the outsider. The Arkansas Building and the Wolf Building are monuments to his enterprise and industry. He was ever ready to assist in the upbuilding of Fayetteville and unselfishly gave liberally to every good enterprise. Some years ago, as a struggling young man, ambitious for an education, Mr. Wolf entered the University here and by hard work managed to equip himself for life's duties and obligations. For a while after leaving the University he taught school at Greenwood, Paris and Washburn. Fourteen years ago he came to this place and began business. He was without means but by canvassing and engaging in other lines of activity he succeeded in becoming acquainted with business men and soon began to engage in the real estate business. He possessed the elements of daring and in a few years had worked up and extensive business. He possessed the elements of daring and in a few years had worked up an extensive business. He became prominent as a promoter of town sites and as such made money very rapidly. When reverses came he never ceased to continue the struggle that he had known from boyhood and in the end triumphed over all difficulties. His optimistic nature and his genial disposition won for him many friends. He took a great interest in athletics and was for some time active as manager of the university baseball team. He was generous in his gifts and delighted in assisting those who were fighting an uneven battle. A.F. Wolf was born at Paris, Logan county, Ark. November 25, 1875 and was therefore in his thirty-fifth year. Few men crowd more of strenuous activity into so few years as composed the career of Mr. Wolf. He was an untiring worker and it may be safely said that he literally burned out. He was in a sense a martyr in the realm of business. About twelve years ago he was married to Miss Ila Ford of Washburn. To them were born three children, Ruth, George and Ford. Besides his wife and children, he leaves a mother, several sisters and brothers, nearly all of whom were present when the end came. Among the brothers are Rev. W.B. Wolf of the Arkansas Conference and Prof. Otha Wolf of Oklahoma. The funeral will take place to-morrow, Sunday, at the Central Methodist church. Rev. J.W. Herring, the pastor, will officiate, assisted by Rev. P.C. Fletcher of Little Rock and Rev. E.R. Steele of Fort Smith. After the services at the church the Masons, Elks, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows will take charge and the interment will be in the Evergreen cemetery. Mr. Wolf was a member of the Central Methodist Church and had for several years been an official. The official board will act as pallbearers.
