Hollis N. Wilson, Civil War veteran, of Goddard, Kan., was born in New Hampshire on May 18, 1843. His parents were Samuel T. and Laurna (Robinson) Wilson. Both his parents were natives of New Hampshire, the ancestors on the paternal side coming from Scotland and on the maternal side from Eng- land. The parents moved west to Illinois in 1844, locating in Woodford county, and remained there until 1875, in which year the father died. His widow lived until 1892, in which year she died at the age of eighty-six. Hollis N.

The regiment then moved up the Arkansas river to Arkansas Post and there took the fort. All this time the regiment was in the Sixteenth Army Corps. After the battle of Arkansas Post the regiment was under Sherman. After the many severe battles in which the regiment participated the ranks were greatly reduced, and at Young's Point Mr. Wilson was detached from the regiment and placed on one of the mortar boats in the Mis- sissippi river fleet, where he did special duty up to the surrender of Vicksburg. After the surrender Mr. Wilson was ordered to Memphis, Tenn., and was detailed to General Bucklin's head- quarters, and after having participated in several other hard engagements he was finally discharged on August 5, 1865, at Vicksburg, Miss. After his discharge Mr. Wilson returned to his home in Woodford county, where on August 25, 1867, he was married to Miss Lizzie J. Newton. One son was born of this union. Mr. Wilson came to Kansas from Illinois in 1874, but soon after returned to Illinois. He again came west and located on a half section in Attica township in 1882 and then resided in Goddard, Kan., which he calls his permanent home, although he spends much of his time with his son, who lives on a farm in Attica township. Mr. Wilson is a public-spirited citizen. He manages about 4,000 acres of land owned by eastern men, besides his own real estate, which consists of 640 acres. He is a Repub- lican in politics.
Albert W. Wise, a prosperous farmer of Illinois township, Sedgwick county, Kansas, is a native of Marshall county, Illi- nois, and was born in 1856, the son of Stephen U. and Maria (Wyly) Wise. He passed his boyhood on a farm in La Salle county, Illinois, but in 1880 moved to Sedgwick county, Kansas, and with his brother bought the east half of Section 36, in Illinois township. At a later date they bought the other half of this section and in 1909 Mr. Wise purchased his brother's interest, so that he now owns 640 acres in Illinois township. His home is on the south, on the township line, and the place is finely improved and thoroughly equipped with all the needed appli- ances of an up-to-date, model farm. He carries on general farm- ing and stock raising, feeding, besides the corn and oats he raises, large quantities which he buys, and has made his farming operations eminently successful. He also owns 320 acres of improved land in Harper county, Kansas.

BIOGRAPHY
Mr. Wise is a man of much influence in the community and for three years has served as trustee of his township. He is a director and also president of the Home State Bank of Clear- water. In politics he holds independent views.
In 1882 Mr. Wise married Miss Catherine E., a daughter of Col. S. B. Patch, of Streator, La Salle county, Illinois. They have seven children, named, respectively, Arthur, Leslie, Dean, Jolın, Alice, Paul and Ruth.
D. P. Woods,* one of the progressive and wide awake young business men of Wichita, Kans., came thither with his parents when but four years old. He acquired his preliminary education in the Wichita schools and then studied two years in the Kansas University. After leaving the university he spent four years in Orcgon in the employ of the Santa Fe Railroad Company and in 1901 returned to Wichita and associated himself with his step- father, Mr. E. P. Powell, as part owner of the Crystal Ice Com- pany. On the death of Mr. Powell, in 1902, he purchased the estate's interest in the ice company and himself conducted it till 1909. Selling out, he next bought a controlling interest in the Wichita Ice and Cold Storage Company, located at Nos. 213-29 South Rock Island avenue, and has the general management of the concern. The officers of this company are: C. W. South- word, president; D. P. Woods, vice-president and treasurer, and I. Brooks, secretary. Mr. Woods stands high in fraternal orders, being a thirty-second degree Mason, belonging to the Wichita Consistory, and the Elks, and holding membership in the Cham- ber of Commerce of Wichita. In 1904 Mr. Woods married Miss Anna, daughter of Mr. C. W. Brown, of Wichita, and they have two children, named, respectively, Elizabeth and Julia.
Charles H. Woolf, one of the self-made men and especially successful farmers, stock raisers and fruit growers of Kansas, resides on a finely cultivated farm on the northwest quarter of Section 23, Morton township, Sedgwick county, Kansas. He was born October 11, 1854, in Muskingum county, Ohio, of which Zanesville is the county seat, and is a son of Andrew T. and Angeline Woolf.
Andrew T. Woolf was a son of Adam and Mary Woolf, who became residents of Ohio in 1830, locating in Muskingum county, the family being originally from Loudoun county, Virginia. The maternal grandmother of Charles H. Woolf was a Pennsylvania Dutch woman, and was brought by her parents to Muskingum

county, Ohio, in 1806. His father was the oldest of eight chil- dren, some of whom are deceased. John resides in Chicago, while Frank, Samuel and Sophia probably reside in Virginia, as their brother has never heard of their death. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew T. Woolf were married, about 1853, in Muskingum county, Ohio, and being poor people, rented a farm from a German in the neighbor- hood. Five children were born to them, as follows: Charles H .; Frank, a prominent farmer of Illinois township, Sedgwick county, Kansas; Laura, now Mrs. LeRoy Dunn, who resides on some of the homestead property in Ohio, and has two sons and two daughters; Blanche, who is the wife of Milo E. Dunn, a professional man residing in Columbus, Ohio, and has three children; and Maude, now Mrs. Cawkins, of Zanesville, Ohio.
Charles H. Woolf was reared and mentally instructed in the common schools of his district, receiving, however, but few edu- cational advantages. He assisted his father until he was twenty- two years old, when he married (in 1878), and continued on the farm for five years more, when the landlord died. His heirs offered Charles H. the farm at the same rent his father had paid, but he refused, and having heard of the chances of a poor man in Kansas resolved to try his fortune in that state. Louis Howard, a friend of his, had been to see the country around Wichita, so Mr. Woolf determined to see it for himself. Therefore, in De- cember, 1881, in company with Frank Woolf, his brother, the subject of this writing came to Kansas, and after visiting several localities in the eastern portion reached Wichita, and inspected the surroundings. He was so well pleased that he returned to Ohio, sold his live stock and farm implements, and with his wife and two children, his brother's family and his brother-in-law, returned to the Sunflower State in March, 1882. The first loca- tion was made on the old Frank Stover farm, fifteen miles south- west of Wichita, where he resided one year. Then he moved to Frank Means' farm, where he also stayed a year. During this time Charles H. Woolf and Frank Woolf had purchased a half section in Illinois township, and the subject hereof moved to this farm. He resided there until the spring of 1886, when he traded with Thomas Speers for the northwest quarter of Section 23, township 28, range 4 west, his present home, and one of the finest pieces of farm property in Sedgwick county. Very few improve- ments had been made on this farm by the former owner, who had pre-empted it. As soon as it came into the possession of Mr.

BIOGRAPHY
. Woolf, however, he commenced enhancing its value, and has con- tinued making improvements ever since. Owing to the care be- stowed upon it the farm has yielded manifold and Mr. Woolf has raised fine crops of corn, wheat, etc., which have never failed during the many years of his ownership. Being a man of original ideas, Mr. Woolf has taken especial pains with his orchards and has twenty acres set out in fruit trees. In 1890, at the county fair, he took the "blue ribbon" on his apples, his exhibit including thirteen varieties of apples, two varieties of pears and one of quinces. About the same time that he planted his orchard he set out a fine grove of shade trees, including black locust, maple and catalpa, all of which are in excellent condition.
In 1895 Mr. Woolf erected his present comfortable residence, at a cost of some $3,000. It is a large structure, being 32 by 54 feet in dimensions, is 20 feet high to the square, and has nine rooms, including the bathroom. It is supplied with hot and cold water, has a walled cellar, 24 by 26 feet square, and is furnished with all modern improvements. The handsome barn accommo- dates twelve horses, while numerous other outbuildings testify to the owner's thrift and good management. Mr. Woolf also makes a specialty of dairy products, keeping some forty head of cattle, about twenty of which are milch cows. In his dairy are all modern appliances, including a cream separator, and he sends his cream by express to Wichita for sale. The strain of cattle he prefers is the famous Red Polled, while his hogs are of Berkshire stock.
In addition to his home farm Mr. Woolf is the possessor of eighty acres in Section 14 (twenty acres of which are seeded to alfalfa), and also 240 acres in Section 22 (the northeast quarter and the north half of the northwest quarter), which is pasture land, and through which the Ninnescah river runs.
In 1878 Mr. Woolf married Ellie Hart, daughter of Isaac and Martha Hart, and nine children have been born to them. The names of the children are as follows: Roy, born in Ohio; Will, born in Ohio; Ada, Mattie, Ida and Laura, deceased; Hattie; Nellie, and Hazel. Since locating in Kansas the members of the family have enjoyed excellent health, although at the time of the moving Mrs. Woolf's health was very poor.
As a prosperous, practical farmer and business man, Mr. Woolf has few equals, and the success which has crowned his efforts is well deserved. Although not a politician, not seeking office, he

HISTORY OF SEDGWICK COUNTY
has been selected three terms as a trustee of Morton township. Fraternally he is a charter member of the M. W. of A. at Cheney. In church matters he gives his support to and attends the Cheney M. E. Church. Both as a private citizen and a public official Mr. Woolf's every action has been characterized by fairness of dealing and uprightness of purpose. He enjoys a widespread popularity and is regarded as one of the best representatives of the agricul- tural interests of the great state of Kansas.
George L. Young is manager of the Wichita branch of the Young Brothers Decorative Company. He was born at Quincy, Ill., in 1863 to John B. and Catherine Doohen Young. In 1886 he married Miss May Burgesser, of Clayton, Ill. He is prominent in social and fraternal organizations, is a thirty-second degree Mason, belongs to the Wichita Consistory, and is a member of the Ancient Order of United Woodmen.
The company with which Mr. Young is connected was organ- ized in 1874 by John B. and Elijah D. Young, at Quincy, Ill., and carried on there with marked success. In 1887 a branch house was opened at Wichita and John B. removed thither, Elijah D. continuing to look after the company's affairs at Quincy. During the first three years the Wichita branch was located at No. 352 North Main street, but in 1890 moved to No. 236 North Main street and continued there till its removal to the present location, No. 142 North Main street, in 1906. The officers of the company are : John B. Young, president; Elijah D. Young, vice-president ; and George Young, our subject, secretary and treasurer. It ranks among the prosperous and progressive business houses of Wichita and in its development has kept pace with the growth of the city, being the largest concern of its kind in the place, carry- ing a full and complete stock of goods used in the decorative line. The growth and standing of the concern are a credit alike to the company's conservative, wise and enterprising management.
Joseph M. Jordan, retired farmer, of Mt. Hope, Sedgwick county, Kansas, was born May 25, 1842, near Stanton, Virginia. He is a son of Joseph and Anna R. Jordan, natives of Virginia. The remote ancestors on the paternal side are traced to England. The father of Joseph M. reared a family of seven children, of which he is the second born. Joseph M. remained under the paternal roof until he was twenty-five years old. His father was a miller and also a farmer in Virginia, and a respected citizen of the community in which he lived. He died in Virginia in 1894,

his wife having died in the same state in.1875. Joseph M. Jordan was married on May 30, 1867, to Miss Mary E. Crann, a daughter of Samuel Crann, of Virginia, in Dutchess county, that state. Fourteen children have been born of this union, viz .: James S., William C., Jacob M., Francis M., Lewis G., Luella M., Elsie E., Alma E., Susanna B., Elias C., and Ezekiel, all of whom are living. Among the deceased are Joseph B., John M. and Emmett S. Joseph M. Jordan farmed in Virginia until 1883, when he removed to Sedgwick county, Kansas, and was located two miles from Mt. Hope, which at that time was not in existence. He bought a tract of land and made valuable improvements on the property, which he now owns, and on which he resided up to 1897, in which year he moved to Mt. Hope. He has been a successful farmer, dealing extensively in horses, cattle and hogs, and he took advan- tage of Mt. Hope as an educational center for his children and has made it his permanent residence. Mr. Jordan is a member of the Christian church, in which he has been a deacon for eighteen years. Mrs. Jordan takes great pride in her children and her Virginia ancestors. Her father was conscripted in the Confederate army. He entered the service on Friday and the following Sunday was killed in the battle of Piedmont, Virginia.
