Humboldt Independence Feb 25, 1930
Miss Cecelia Wolfe, a resident of Fort Dodge for twelve years and a former Humboldt resident, died at St. Joseph Mercy hospital following a stroke of apoplexy. Although Miss Wolfe had suffered from high blood pressure for a year or more, her heath came as a great shock to friends who believed her condition improving. Miss Wolfe had been employed at the Glazer Cloak shop, Fort Dodge, for the last three years. She was born in Pocahontas, where she spent her childhood, moving later to Minnesota. Before coming to Fort Dodge she was employed in Humboldt for several years and went from there to Ft. Dodge, where she worked at the E.C. Bryant company. Miss Wolfe was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. Her parents died many years ago. Two brothers and five sisters survive. They are E.F. Wolfe of Malta, Montana; Maurice Wofe of Lytonn, Iowa; Mrs. Agnes Doyle; Mrs. John Alberts and Mrs. H.C. Goodyear of Pocahontas; Mrs. Joseph Henneberry of Cheyenne, Wyoming and Mrs. Walter Spence of Rolfe. The body was taken to Pocahontas to the home of Mrs. Agnes Doyle. Funeral services were held from Sacred Heart church. Burial took place in Calvary cemetery.OBITUARY: Pocahontas Democrat, Thursday, 20 Feb 1930, pg. 1
