- "DIED. Andrew WOLFE Sr. He died in Wilkes Co, GA.
- At his late residence in the county
of Wilks, on the night of the 5th instant, Andrew Wolf, in the 89th
year of his age.
Mr. Wolf had been an actor in "the times that tried men's souls."
having enlisted when quite a youth in the Virginia line of the army of
the revolution, and remained in the service of his country until that
great and glorious struggle terminated in her independence. We do not
claim for "the Old Worthy" the fame and distinction usually awarded to
those who have marshalled and led our armies on the battle-field, but
would hold in rememberance the humble and unassuming soldier, the tried
and unflinching patriot, who not only gave the strength and vigor of
his youth to the cause of his country, but perilled his life in her
defence. "He has fought his last battle," and been gathered to his
fathers.
