Last Wednesday morning, Mr. W.C. Wolford, a former Magistrate of Adair county, dropped dead at his late home on Casey Creek. The deceased was seventy-one years old and two days when the end came. He was a nephew of the late General Frank L. Wolford and was a good citizen, well-known to the people in the eastern portion of this county.

When the Civil war broke out he espoused the cause of the Union, entered the Federal army, serving in the 13th Kentucky Infantry, Capt. O.B. Patteson's Company. His passing leaves only eight of said company in Adair county, to wit: John Campbell, Dr. Wm. Blair, Zach Samuels, Josh Butler, Wm. Butler, Geo. J. Hurt, Wm. H. Conover, and J.K.P. Conover. A great many friends and relatives attended the funeral of Squire Wolford and he will be greatly missed in the neighborhood where he so long lived.

It is worth noting that Rev. C.M. Deener of the 13th KY Infantry Co. B was also still living at the time of this writing, just across the county line in Montpelier, Russell County.
