A biosketch reports [18]
George S. Wolf, farmer, Keithsburg, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, November 7, 1818, and is the son of Chiistian and Sarah (Sterner) Wolf, and a grandson of Henry Wolf, who emigrated, when a mere boy, to America near the middle of the seventeenth century sic. He was the only one of his father's family sufficiently actuated by a spirit of adventure to leave childhood's home and visit a foreign land. During our subject's early youth his time was constantly employed in agricultural pursuits on his father's farm. During the meantime he received about twenty months' schooling, in the veritable log-cabin school-house, taught by an eccentric old school-master, whose proficiencv in teaching equaled only his salary. September 6, 1838. Mr. Wolf was united in marriage with Miss Mary C. Amweg, daughter of William and Hannah (Spirow) Amweg, also a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. Mr. Wolf has devoted his life to farming, up till 1869, in his native state and since that time on his neat, little farm immediately adjoining the village of Keithsburg. Besides this farm he owns another of 168 acres in Henderson county. He had born to him seven children, five of whom are living: William B., John H., Adam A., Jacob L., Isaiah S.; and Edward and Hannah E. (deceased), aged respectively sixteen and twenty-seven years. His son William B. served four years during the war of 1861-5: was mustered into service as an orderly, and honorably discharged with a captain's commission, and was wounded in one of the battles of the Wilderness. His son Adam A. is a minister in the United Brethren church, Mr. Wolf and wife are members of the Presbyterian church. Though his school advantages were very meager, he is now one of our best posted men.
