Charles W. Wolfe, an old resident of this boro, died at 29 Canton street at 8:30 o’clock Monday morning, aged 65 years and nine months. Deceased was born at Rhinebeck, Duchess County, N.Y. When he was about four years of age, his parents, James and Anna M. Wolfe, with their family, moved to Troy, afterwards at different dates residing in several of the surrounding towns in this vicinity, taking up their residence in this place since the year 1861. In business Mr. Wolfe first followed the occupation of a shoemaker, and was employed in the shop belonging to Thomas Dove, later by John Christian, both of this place. He was also connected with other business houses here, and for the last thirteen years, except during the period of his sickness, was employed in the bakery owned by his brother, H. L. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe has been confined to the house for a little over a year past, suffering with progressive-anemia, under the care of Dr. C. F. Paine, and has at rare occasions been able to be out and greet old friends. He left the home where his brothers and sisters resided on Redington Avenue about three weeks prior to his death, and occupied rooms over the bakery, where he passed away. Among the many friends and relatives of the deceased by whom he will be sadly missed are the members of his immediate family who survive him: Mrs. Martha Harding, Williamsport: William W. and Howard of Scranton; Thad W. of Elmira; John N., Kate E., Lottie Gustin, H. L. and Frank of this place. The funeral services will be held at the home on Redington Avenue tomorrow (Thursday) at one o’clock p.m., Rev. Ward Mosher to officiate, assisted by Rev. E. P.

The funeral of Thaddeus W. Wolf was held from the home Monday afternoon in charge of Rev. Mr.Soper of the Methodist Episcopal church. The deceased, a native of Troy, resided in Elmira before taking up his residence here. His health had steadily declined for the past few years his death occurring Saturday. He was 76 years old and is survived by a widow and one daughter Elizabeth, two brothers Horace of Montour Falls, N.Y. and Howard of Scranton (Canton newspaper obituary).
Mrs. Edith Wolfe, one of Canton's most esteemed residents, died in her home there last Tuesday, January 4th at the age of 71 years. She was well known to many here through her visits in the George E. Linderman and M. H. McGlenn homes. Mr. Linderman is a brother. A daughter, Miss Elizabeth Wolfe of Canton survives. The funeral was held Thursday from the home, Rev. C. W.

In 1887 he embarked in his present business in Troy, in which he has since successfully continued; he is an enterprising citizen; in politics he is a Republican.
The death of Frank Wolfe, for a number of years a resident of Troy, occurred early Tuesday morning at Danville, Pa.

In 1887 he entered the employment of his brother, H. L. Wolfe, who at that time embarked in the bakery business in Troy, with whom he remained for a period of thirteen years, when Mr. Wolfe disposed of his interests here.
