b. 8 August 1851 · fl. 1893
The sketch: Goodspeed's Pictorial and Biographical Memoirs of Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties (1893) carries "Hon. Thomas J. Wolfe, of Walkerton" — a dealer in men's and boys' clothing, gent's jewelry, watches and the like, born 8 August 1851 in a log house near Ligonier, Noble County, son of Leonard and Lutitia (Martin) Wolfe; his brother Ellison M. Wolfe farmed in Lincoln Township and his sister Rhoda A. married J. J. Miller of Walkerton. He is printed at the strength the sketch was reached — a search-level reading of the book's digitized text — and with one honest gap on his face: the office behind his "Hon." was not found in anything searched. His family lines — a brother in the township, a sister married in the town — are the kind of weave the long tail exists to keep.
