© Carnegie Herald Carnegie, Oklahoma Wednesday, May 13, 1915 July 4, 1868 ~ May 9, 1915 DEATH OF PIONEER CITIZEN In an Oklahoma City hospital J.C. Woolf, a prominent citizen of the Alden community, passed away Sunday afternoon. The corpse was accompanied home Monday morning by the wife and three children, who were with Mr. Woolf at the time of his death. The fatal end came after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. Woolf was taken to the hospital in a dangerous condition last Thursday. So low was he that the hospital authorities did not operate on him. Mr. Woolf had not been in good health for the past two years. After contracting a severe cold recently, an abscess gathered in his middle ear and, later, acute nephritis of kidney trouble developed this being the immediate cause of his death. Mr. Woolf was a man in the richest span of life, aged forty-seven years, and had lived here ever since the opening, when he took up a homestead ten miles southwest of Carnegie. He was a member of the W.O.W. and carried $3,000 life insurance. Besides his wife and three children---Glenn, a grown son; Roy, a boy of sixteen years, and Elsie, a little daughter of three---the deceased is survived by his father, J.W. Wolf, of Post Oak, Missouri and by three sisters and five brothers, as follows Mrs. W.E. Boyer of Oklahoma City; Mrs. Geo. Elliott of Gotebo; Mrs. Ingram of Chilhowee, Mo.; O.R. And John Wolf of Alden; D.M. Wolf of Randal, Wyoming; and E.R. And Jim Woolf of Chicago. The funeral services occurred at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Interment being in the Alden cemetery. The community was deeply affected by the death of such a well-known and highly-esteemed man. |
