General Notes: Husband - Rev. Andrew Thompson Wolff, D.D.
His early education was acquired in the public schools, where he was prepared to enter Mount Union College to take up the study of theology. At the age of nineteen years he entered the Presbyterian ministry and preached his first sermon in Polk Run Presbyterian Church in Washington township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Public speaking presented no fears to him, as he had begun lecturing on temperance in many places when but eleven years of age. Being a great student and being sincerely interested in improving the moral development of any community in which he was located, he took great interest in the duties which lay before him while he was a circuit rider for the Methodist church at Morgantown, West Virginia. After continuing in this field for some eight or ten years he accepted a Presbyterian parish in Mercer County. Subsequently he went to Detroit to become pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church, an important position, which he held for several years. Realizing the great need of mission churches in the Middle West he went to Madison, South Dakota, where he established a church, and later he accomplished the same work at Sioux Falls. Returning farther east he remained in charge of a church at Frankfort, Indiana, for two years, then became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Alton, Illinois. Nine years of service in Alton, Illinois, completed his ministerial activities, and he removed to Warren avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, to spend the latter part of his life in retirement.
