General Notes: Husband - Robert Dinsmore Wolff

---

His early education was received in the public schools, and at Delmont Academy, where he prepared to enter Grove City College, at Grove City, Pennsylvania. Completing his college course, he became an instructor in the public schools of Westmoreland and Indiana counties. This profession was too confining for his active nature, and in 1889 he entered the newspaper field, first on the reportorial staff and later as editor in Greensburg, Irwin and Jeannette. During the eighteen years he gave to this work he became acquainted with the majority of the residents of the county, and it was said that he was probably the most extensively known man in the county in his time. In 1895 he began to divide his time between press work and the lecture platform. The latter gave him a broader field for his activities, as his papers were read principally in the home towns. His clear logic, direct speaking and sympathetic view-points won him large and appreciative audiences, not only in his native state, but also in Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia. His political speeches were been unusually keen and lucid, and in explaining and furthering the aims and policies of the Republican party, to which he always gave his political allegiance, he was a strong party asset. In 1907 he found it necessary to abandon his newspaper work in order to be able to undertake the duties of director of the poor. His first election was for a two-year term, but he was elected twice more for four-year terms.
Mr. Wolff was a popular member of many of the fraternal organizations represented in Greensburg, among them being Westmoreland Lodge, No. 840, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Greensburg Conclave, No. 174, Improved Order of Heptasophs; Westmoreland Camp, Woodmen of the World; and Independent Order of American Mechanics. His religious affiliation was with the First Reformed Church, in which he was an active member.
