**********************************************************************

George Wolff, of the firm of Wolff & Bro., proprietor of the New Haven
Roller Mills, is a native of France, born in 1842, and is the son of
John and Katie (Kline) Wolff, also natives of France.  The mother was
born in 1805, and in about 1869 came to the United States, and is now
living in New Haven.  The father died when George was an infant.  The
latter received but a limited education, and began working on a farm 
at the age of nine, where he remained three years, and then learned 
the milling business.  In 1860 he came to the United States, and work-
ed for some years in a foundry in Connecticut.  He then went to New
York, and from there to Ohio, and in 1865 to St. Louis, where he was
married in 1867, to Miss Margaret, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth
Kauffman.  Seven children were the result of our subject's marriage,
viz.: Amelia, Lillie, Leanora, George, Emil, Delean and Clara.  After
spending five or six years in Southeast Missouri, having charge of a 
mill for a St. Louis firm, Mr. Wolff, in 1876, came to New Haven, and
soon after he and his brother, Jacob, purchased the New Haven flour
mills which they have recently very much improved, and which has a
capacity of 200 barrels per day.  It now turns out 1,100 barrels per
week.  Mr. Wolff is strictly independent in his political belief, and
he and his wife are members of the German Lutheran Church.
