Life was Varied
The life of "Dad" Wolfer, as he
was called by his close friends,
had spanned the candle-stick and
spinning wheel age to the present
time of electricity and the ma
chine age, and during all those
years he had given of his time
and talents generously toward the
progress of his beloved state. Me
moirs of his life reveal the fact
that he not only kept abreast of
the times but forged ahead al
ways predicting something greater
la the way of achievements. He
was the first in Hubbard to have
a telephone in his home 3 j years

Clark and Charles Will, twin

messages before such a thing was
scarcely dreamed of.

recline in his easy chair before a
modern' radio and listen in on one
of our modern radio programs. In
