General Notes: Husband - William P. Wolford

---

He was reared in Venango County, PA, and received his early education in the public schools, afterward preparing for teaching in the high school at Clintonville. He followed the profession for some years, but farming was his principal calling in life, and wisely chosen to judge by his success. In 1898 he purchased the tract in Scrubgrass Township where he thereafter lived, the James Donnelly farm of sixty-six acres six miles northwest of Emlenton borough, and made other valuable purchases in the locality, his holdings eventually amounting to 158 acres of the best land there. He was long an ardent advocate of the principles of the Prohibition Party, and held advanced views on many other matters of general interest. He and his wife were associated with the Rankin Methodist Episcopal Church, three quarters of a mile from their home. [CAB, 681]
