Obituary from the Edwardsville Intelligencer, Edwardsville, Madison County, Illinois, Wednesday, November 3, 1926, pages 1 & 6:
Hermann E. Wolf, well-known resident of this city, passed away at 12:40 o'clock this morning at his home at 113 Springer avenue, succumbing to an attack of double pneumonia with which he had been suffering the past ten days.
Mr. Wolf had always been very active and his death after a short illness comes as a great shock to his many friends and acquaintances. At the time of his death all members of his family were at his bedside, a son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. H. Carl Wolf, arriving last evening from their home in Baltimore, Md. Percy H. Wolf, of Worden, another son, had been with his father since he became ill.
Mr. Wolf was born August 25, 1850, in Philadelphia, Pa., a son of Hermann and Doris N. Wolf. His father was killed when Mr. Wolf was only a baby and when he was two years of age his mother returned with he and his sister, to Heidelberg, Germany. Mr. Wolf's early life was spent in Germany and Switzerland. At the latter place he resided for a number of years with his uncle, Henri Nestle, manufacturer of Nestle's Food.
At the age of 21 he returned to America and stopped off for a few months visit in Philadelphia. He then proceeded to Edwardsville, where he was employed in various capacities, principally farming. Later he took up the profession of music teaching and afterward the manufacture of Wolf's American Food, which was made on a formula closely approximate with Nestle's Food.
In 1898 he became treasurer of the Palace Store Company and continued in that capacity until his death. In 1903 he became secretary of the Home Building & Loan Association and has continued his association activities since that time, being secretary of the Peoples' Loan Association until his resignation last month.
Mr. Wolf's friendship and association with Henry Trares, head of the Palace Store Company, began soon after his arrival in this city and had continued as a true and lasting friendship until his death. The two men cooperated in forming the Schwartz Orchestra which was the leader of musical activities in this vicinity a number of years ago. They also assisted in organizing the Enterprise Band, which became known far and wide.
Mr. Wolf took a great interest in the soldier boys during the World war. His few years in Germany during his young life had shown him the conditions existing in that country, and although a life-long Republican there was no stronger supporter of Woodrow Wilson and his war policies than Mr. Wolf. He kept in close touch with a number of the soldiers and received large groups of letters from them.
He became actively identified with the Red Cross during the war and had been the treasurer of the Madison County Chapter for the past six years. He was a familiar figure carrying the Red Cross flag in patriotic parades. Mr. Wolf was also a charter member of the local order of the Modern Woodmen of America.
In 1878 he was united in marriage with Miss Minnie Daech, who died two years later. In 1883 he was married to Miss Mary Harriet Handlon, eldest daughter of the late Walker and Elizabeth Handlon. There were four children by this marriage:--
Edmond W., who died in infancy; Percy H., of Worden; H. Carl, of Baltimore, Md., and Doris E. Wolf who resides at home.
There are also two grandchildren who survive. Mr. Wolf's sister and mother died when he was only a boy. He was a cousin of A.P. Wolf, vice-president of the Bank of Edwardsville, and the latter's father took Mr. Wolf into his family and cared for him as one of his sons.
Mr. Wolf was very well known in Edwardsville and had many friends and acquaintances in this vicinity who will regret to learn of his death.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the First Presbyterian church. Rev. S.E. Arthur of St. Andrew's Episcopal church and Rev. Carl. L. Attig of the First Presbyterian church, will have charge. The members of the Modern Woodmen of America, will conduct services at Woodlawn cemetery where interment will be made.
