  JOHN G. WOLF. The high standard set by the farmers of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, is being maintained by John G. Wolf, of Black Creek township, who is carrying on operations on a fine tract of eighty acres in section 22, and also farms 100 acres in section 23 in partnership with his brother, W. F. Wolf. John G. Wolf was born October 14, 1876, in Black Creek township, Outagamie county, a son of Peter and Emelia (Bartman) Wolf, natives of Ger-mantown, Wisconsin, and Germany, respectively, and they were married in Black Creek township, whence the father had come in 1871 and purchased 160 acres of land, at this time all timber land. Here he built a frame house of four rooms and started to clear and develop the land, and when he had succeeded in putting 100 acres under cultivation, he remodeled the house, making it a modern structure of twelve rooms, built a basement barn 40x70 feet and numerous other buildings for the sheltering of stock and grain, and fenced his property completely with barbed wire. He died August 13, 1895, at the age of forty-four years, and his wife passed away September 22, 1904, when forty-nine years of age. Both are buried in St. John's Evangelical Cemetery in Black Creek township. Mr. Wolf was a Republican in politics, and served as supervisor for two years, town treasurer seven years, and town chairman for a like period, in addition to being a member of the school board for six years and a member of the building committee for the Outagamie county asylum. Eight children were born to Peter and Emelia Wolf, namely: Charles A., who is single, working at the trade of boilermaker, in Needles, Cal.; William F., who received a common school education, as have all the children, and is now serving his first term as clerk of Outagamie county, having also served two years as assessor and six years as chairman of Black Creek; John G., who is single and owns and operates the homestead; Ida, who married Charles Minlschmidt and lives in Black Creek; Annie, who is single, a trained nurse and living at home; Elmer E., who attended the Chicago Art Institute for two years, with the intention of becoming an artist, but is now working temporarily with the railroad surveying crew; Elma. G.., who died at the age of eighteen years, August 31, 1909, and is buried in the family lot in St. John's Evangelical Cemetery; and George, who died in infancy. John G. Wolf has spent all of his life on the old homestead, and he has made a number of improvements since taking over the active management of the place. He is carrying on farming along general lines, and ships dairy products, hogs, cattle and grain. He is fraternally connected with the Modern Woodmen of America, is a Republican in political matters, and is connected religiously with St. John's Evangelical Church.
