VIOLA BURKHART WIEAND was born in Elkhart County, Indiana, on February 4, 1891. In March 1900 she was bap- tized. A graduate in sacred music at Bethany Biblical Sem- inary, she has taught in district Bible school in Decatur, was director of the district intermediate camp there, has filled the pulpit many times in the absence of her husband, John B. Wieand, and has been the song leader in a number of evangelistic meetings.
JAMES WIRT, JR., son of James and Lydia Studebaker Wirt, was born in Randolph County, Indiana, July 23, 1849. In his youth he was baptized by John Crist. He married Hannah Gibson Vaniman on June 4, 1878; two sons and three daughters were born to them. After being a deacon for three years he was called to the ministry in 1892. He was a farmer-minister, working mainly in the Pleasant Hill church, of which he was clerk for twenty years. He died June 25, 1938.
JOHN WISE was born in Washington County, Pennsyl- vania, May 18, 1822. It is a matter of interest that his grand- father had come from Schwarzenau, Germany. At the age of seventeen he began teaching school, and he taught thirty- two terms. On February 27, 1847, he married Nancy Grable; six sons and four daughters were born to them. He united with the Church of the Brethren at the age of twenty in the Ten Mile congregation in Pennsylvania. On October 18, 1843, he was called to the ministry. On October 18, 1854, he was ordained to the eldership. In December 1867 he moved to Iowa. Other states in which he ministered were
309
BIOGRAPHIES
Illinois, Texas, and Kansas. He moved to the Mulberry Grove church, Illinois, about 1879; there he was elder-in- charge for three years. He held many offices in the church; moderator of district meeting twice; Standing Committee- man twenty-seven times; moderator of Annual Conference once and reader fifteen times. As a pulpit orator he had few equals. A perfect voice, excellent language and a remark- able command of words made it a pleasure to listen to him. It can well be said that he was a leader of the leaders in the church. The larger part of his work was done in the church at Conway Springs, Kansas. A few years before the close of his life he lost his eyesight. He died on June 26, 1909.
DAVID WOLFE, son of George and Anna Hunsaker Wolfe, was born in Union County, Illinois, December 15, 1819. He was united in marriage to Parmelia Ann Frances McKnight on April 15, 1841; one son and two daughters were born to them. His father baptized him about the year 1835. Elect- ed a minister at Liberty, Illinois, in 1861, he was ordained an elder by Elders Isham Gibson and John Fitz in 1864. He was elder of several congregations, did much organiza- tional and committee work in the district, served on evan- gelistic committees, and represented the district on Stand- ing Committee three times. He labored as a local minister, together with his father, in the Liberty church (then Mill Creek) until the time of his death. Not only was he an ex- tensive farmer for that period, but he also served two terms in the Illinois legislature. He died in Adams County, Illi- nois, on June 1, 1879.
GEORGE WOLFE was born in Lancaster County, Pennsyl- vania, April 25, 1780, the son of Elder George Wolfe. In 1787 the Wolfe family moved to Fayette County, Pennsyl- vania, and located on a farm about ten miles from Union-

town. In 1800 the family sailed down the Ohio River on a flatboat of their own construction and settled in Muhlen- berg County, Kentucky, where there was a church colony in the wilderness. Here, on March 3, 1803, George and Anna Hunsacker were mar- ried; to them were born six sons and two daughters. In 1808 George and his brother Jacob migrated to what was later Union County, Illinois. At that time there were no settlements closer than Cape Girardeau County, Missouri; in fact, white people were very sparsely scattered through all parts of Illinois. The following year the father came GEORGE WOLFE from Kentucky to visit his sons and made a preaching tour of southern Illi- nois and eastern Missouri. All the Mississippi Valley was repeatedly shaken by earthquakes in the year 1811, and as a result a great revival wave passed over the settle- ments. When the Methodists held a revival in Union County, George was converted and was elected leader of a group of probationers. Not satisfied with the faith he was professing, and remembering the rearing of his Christian home, he asked the class to send for one of the Brethren back in Kentucky to come and preach for them. This messenger met Brother John Hendricks on his way to Union County, who, after he arrived, held meetings and baptized George and all his class. George was the first of the group to re- ceive baptism and perhaps was the first person received into the membership of the Church of the Brethren in Illinois. The same year George was called to the ministry and in the following year, 1813, Elders John Hochstettler and Peter Hahn ordained him. For nineteen years he worked in Union and adjoining counties. As early as 1829 George made a tour

BIOGRAPHIES
northward as far as Adams County; in this year he solem- nized the first marriage and preached the first sermon in Liberty Township. In 1831 his family, with a number of other families, settled in Adams County, and a congregation was organized there. That autumn the first love feast was held. From this center he visited and preached in Morgan, Sangamon and Macoupin counties for thirty-five years. The sermons were sometimes two hours long. People listened. One who often heard him, said, "His manner of preaching, like his presence, was commanding, yet as gentle as a child. His language was simple, easily understood by a child and yet a philosopher would listen to it spellbound. His great theme was the love of God." Near the close of life he spoke in this manner of his work: "I have preached the gospel over fifty years. I labored much when Illinois was a wilderness. My work is now nearly done. I have, like Paul, finished my course, and if when eternity shall dawn and I gaze with enraptured vision on the mighty hosts of the redeemed there shall be in that mighty throng one soul numbered with the blest because I worked and prayed and preached I shall be fully repaid for my labors here." He died at Liberty on Novem- ber 16, 1865.
FRED G. WOLFE was born in Adams County, Illinois, December 21, 1875, the son of Jacob B. Wolfe and the great-grandson of George Wolfe, Jr. His mother was Emily Grubb of Adams County, Illinois. He married Nita W. Williams of Quincy, Illinois, on June 18, 1913. He was FRED WOLFE baptized by Brother Moore, and is now an elder in the Presbyterian Church. An attorney, he

has served as county, appellate and circuit judge. He pro- vided some of the information about the Wolfe family found in this history.
JACOB WYNE was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, June 5, 1861, to John and Elizabeth Zigler Wyne. His mar- riage to Julia A. Shively of La Place, Illinois, took place on December 29, 1887. To them were born three sons and one daughter. He was baptized by Elder Jacob Waggoner. With the exception of five and one-half years spent in New Mexico, he farmed in Piatt County, Illinois, until he re- tired. Elected to the ministry in the La Place congregation in 1894 he was or- dained to the eldership at the same place. A farmer-minister at La Place, JACOB WYNE he served as a member of the district mission board and the board of district trustees. His late home was at Azusa, California, where he died August 23, 1949.

A number of times he represented his district on Standing Committee. He knew his Bible well, did much evangelistic work, and is said to have preached in forty-two of the states. He died in California, January 5, 1932.
AMOS YORDY, the son of Christian and Salome Slagel Yordy, was born near Roanoke, Illinois, June 10, 1884. He was received into the Church of the Brethren during the pastorate of Elder S. A. Honberger. His marriage to Jessie Switzer of Roanoke, Illinois, took place on July 21, 1912; two sons and four daughters were born to them. For two years he attended Mount Morris College.
