Biography:
WILLIAM WOLF, who is discharging the duties connected with the office of county clerk of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, is one of the popular public officials of this county, and a highly esteemed citizen of Appleton. Mr. Wolf is a native of Outagamie county, having been born in Black Creek township, May 5, 1875, and is a son of Peter and Emeline (Barton) Wolf. George Wolf, the grandfather of William, founded the family in the United States in the early '40s, when he came from Germany and settled in Washington county, Wisconsin. There Peter Wolf was born in 1852, and at the age of eighteen years came to Outagamie county and bought wild land with his brother Valentine, the two brothers continuing to improve and farm this property up to the time of their deaths. Peter Wolf died in 1895, his widow surviving him ten years, and they had a family of eight children, of whom two are now deceased. William Wolf secured his education in the public schools, and his boyhood and youth were spent on the home farm with his father, he continuing with him until his death. He has always been closely identified with public matters in Outagamie county, and was elected to the office of treasurer of Black Creek township, a position he held for seven years. He served as chairman of the township board for six years, during which time he was a member of the building committee that erected the Outagamie County Asylum for the Insane, was school clerk for fifteen years and assessor two years, and in 1910 was elected to the office of county clerk for a term of two years. The high esteem in which Mr. Wolf is held by his fellow citizens has been proven by his popularity at the polls, due to the efficient manner in which he has filled every requirement in any of the positions which he has been called upon to accept, and to the fact that his county's interests and those of his township are always placed in advance of his own. Mr. Wolf's fraternal connections are with the Woodmen, the E. F. U., the Eagles and the Order of the Moose and Elks.

Obituary:
County Pioneer William Wolf Dies at Age 91 Directed Restoration Of Grignon Home; Served as Clerk
William F. Wolf, longtime curator of the historical Grignon Home, former county official and member of an Outagamie County pioneer family, died at 2 a.m. today at the age of 91. His daughter is Miss Annabelle Wolf, guidance counselor at Appleton High School-West who presently is on leave of absence to attend the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The Wolf family home is at 526 N. Meade St. Funeral arrangements are pending at the Wichmann Funeral Home. Was Director A member of the Outagamie County Pioneer and Historical Society since 1911, Wolf was a director of the organization for most of these years. Wednesday's gathering for the traditional Washington Day annual meeting and dinner will be the first he has missed during his 56- year membership. It was as a member of the county historical group that Wolf became interested in the Grignon home at Kaukauna (built in 1836 by Charles A. Grignon) and the members of the family who lived there. He was largely responsible for the restoration of the "mansion in the woods," as it was called in pioneer days. Appointed by the county board as chairman of the restoration committee in 1935, he began his research on the home and its family, and his Turn to Page 3, Col. 1 study was to be his interest for all his active years. He directed the restoration work for several years under a WPA project; he organized and recorded thousands of family letters; he organized the vast number of Indian treaties made while Charles Grignon was agent and interpreter for the United States. He was the first curator of the Grignon Home when it opened officially as a county museum in 1941, and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1956. The Grignon Home now has been turned over to the City of Kaukauna by Outagamie County. The son of German pioneers, Wolf was born May 5, 1875, in the Town of Black Creek. His father, Peter Wolf, was active in school affairs and county government . His mother, Amelia Bartman Wolf, belonged to a family which came with 30 other families in 1868 from the same German village in Pomerania to settle in the Town of Greenville. His father's family settled first in Germantown, Washington County, coming to Black Creek about 1870. As a child, William Wolf attended a log school that served the area for 23 years. Like his father, Wolf was active in government, serving the Town of Black Creek as secretary of the school board, justice of peace and assessor. He was elected to the Outagamie County Board in 1905 and served in that position for five years until he was elected county clerk. In 1910 he moved to Appleton to make his home, and his tenure as Outagamie County clerk lasted eight years, from 1910 until 1918. During World War I, Wolf was secretary of the draft board. He had been a member of the State Historical Society since t 1936. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday from the Wich- mann Funeral Home. Interment will be in the Black Creek Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 3 p.m. Tuesday. A memorial is being established for the First Congregational Church building fund, Appleton.
