He was united in marriage with Anna Marburger, who is still living, and they became parents of two children: Amanda S., who married William McClure, and Milton J.

After completing his education he purchased a team and engaged for a time in teaming, after which he operated a sawmill for two years. He then entered the general store of N. S. Nicely as clerk, for three months, when, in partnership with Elmer E. McNees, he purchased the business from Mr. Nicely. Here he has since been engaged ever since, carrying a full line of general merchandise and enjoying a large patronage from the residents of that community.
Mr. Wolf was joined in marriage in January, 1899, to Mary M. Riddle, a daughter of Samuel L. Riddle. Mr. and Mrs. Wolf have one child, namely, Ferdden E.
