Son of Johannes & Catherine. Beloved husband, father.

Given name Michael, he was later called Mitchell. Born in Wurges, Bad Camberg, Germany to Johannes "John Sr" Wolf *1811-1868) and Catherine Bermbach Wolf (1809-1869). Michael immigrated with his parents and 6 siblings in 1855, arriving in Bastrop to join other Wurges Catholic families by January 1856. The family settled on land just north of what is today Rockne, Texas along Old Red Rock Road in what was then the Walnut Creek community. His father was a smith and farmer.

Shorty after the deaths of his father and mother, Michael married Rebecca Catherine Hill (1847-1925) on 24 August 1869 in Rockne. Rebecca, born in Missouri came to Texas as a child with her family who were also early Bastrop settlers. The newly married couple lived in Michael's parent's cabin along a small branch of Walnut Creek, next to the small Wolf Cemetery where his parents and younger sister Clowina (1855-1865) were buried. The cabin still exists today, but moved to Bastrop as part of the (Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) park.

As mentioned in the Rockne History Book, Michael Wolf and Phillip Goertz each donated 5 acres to build the first Rockne Catholic Church of the Ascension in 1876.

Michael and Rebecca suffered tragedy early on, as of their first 5 children, 4 died in childhood. They did have 8 children live to adulthood, 4 sons and 4 daughters. Michael along with his brothers, particularly older brother John Wolf Jr. farmed and ranched in Bastrop, Travis and Sequin Counties. Michael and Rebecca moved to San Antonio the last dozen years of their lives, to live close to several children, including son Michael Jr MD who was a surgeon in San Antonio. Michael and Rebecca passed away in 1927 and 1925 respectively and were buried in Walnut Creek Cemetery where they farmed in their early years.

Michael was the last living son or daughter of Johannes and Catherine Wolf and family who traveled from Wurges, Germany and had arrived in Bastrop 72 years prior.
