Obituary, copy from Aunt Marge
Peter M. Wolfe, born 1821, died D(ec 5 ) 1881. Early in life he gave his heart to God and united with the M.P. Church at Evansville W. Va. Removing shortly after he attached himself to the M.E. Church of which for almost half a century he has
been a worthy and consistant member. He had been in declining health for almost a year before his death, and during the last few weeks of his life his mind was greatly affected. But in his rational moments he expressed himself as (
unreadable)hold by the strong arm of the Savior ( )when death came it found him ready, ( )ned and in his right mind. He was the first of a family of thirteen to break away from the Unitarian faith in which they had been taught. The
others followed his example, and to this day they all, with one exception, are strong men and women in Christ and financially in the church. He leaves a wife and eight childrento mourn their loss; but they, too, thanks to a pious example are on
their way. W. () W.

Uncle John Wolfe remembers, " The nighe that brother Charlie died three times. His heart would speed up to a tremendous rate the heart and breathing stop. He had measles and whooping cough at the same time. He was one year old. Dad would just
not let him go. He put him in hot water, pummeled and spanked him and the heart would start again. The doctor would not come to see him, saying Dad was doing everything possible. He would not let Mother in the room. I kept the water hot. After
the third ressurection he told me to go to bed, that the crisis was past.
