  Obituary: Thomas Jefferson Wolford was born near Zanesville, Ohio, December 21, 1830, and died at the home of his daughter, in Coffeyville, Kansas, March 9, 1914, at the age of 84 years, 2 months and sixteen days. In the year 1850 he moved to Illinois, in which state, at Carthage, he was united in marriage to Hanna I. Mace on Sept. 29, 1859. In 1868 he moved to Iowa and seven years later moved to Kansas, taking up a homestead in Hawkeye township, Osborne county. For the past 12 years the deceased, with his wife, had made their home at Burlington, Kansas spending much of their time visiting among their children. Mr. Wolford enlisted May 10, 1861, in Co. F. 16th Ill. Vol. Inf. and served three years in the civil war. He was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1872 and held his membership in that church at Burlington, at the time of his death. The deceased leaves a large circle of friends, many relatives and his wife and nine children. The children are: T. H.; Chester W.; Chancy W.; Lucy Ray, Coffeyville; Rhoda Gillow, Iola; Lizzie Crawford, Strang, Neb.; Nellie Hempy, Kansas City, Mo.; Phoebe Park, Brunning, Neb.; Susie Endsley, Los Angeles, Calif. All excepting the later were present at the funeral which was held at the Willow Dale church, March 12 at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Spalding of the Alton M. E. church. Interment was made in the Alton [Sumner] cemetery. Only a sweet memory remains of a valiant and loyal soldier of his country and King, who has answered the last roll call and has now entered into rest. - The Alton Empire, of Alton, Kansas, Thursday, March 19, 1914
