On Sept. 16, 1893, John Leander Wolf made the run in the Cherokee Strip Opening,
staking a claim in the Reed Township (south and west of Covington, Oklahoma),
the town of Marshall was claimed as the home mailing route, the family business
was done in Marshall.
John Leander Wolf , so I was told, started his journey with a riding pony and cart, after several miles of rough riding abandoned the two wheel shay, and took off on his pony.
When he had made his claim legal, his first thoughts were a home for his family: he purchased lumber that was hauled in to build a frame house, then Frances M. Wolf his wife, and the children traveled from Rooks County near Morton, Kansas to their new home. The family that made the journey to Oklahoma was his wife Framces Mitchell Wolf, a son William Leander Wolf, Altha Sarah Wolf Tullous, Martha Omega Wolf Murphy, Thomas Levi Wolf, Martin Luther Wolf, Myrtle Mary Wolf Holding.
Soon the father of John, William V. Wolf, and mother Sarah Ann Gibson Wolf and sister Mary Wolf Cleveland, moved to Oklahoma. William V. Wolf was a bridge contracter and builder by trade, as the construction work was finished, they moved to Lawton Oklahoma.
The frame house that was home for the family for several years, burned when Maude accidently turned her lamp over setting fire to the upstairs. They lost all their possessions. John Leander Wolf than purchased the Northeast quarter section, Sixteen township twenty range four, and sold the home place to a son, William Wolf. Omega, Tom, Mart, and Myrtle attend Sunnyside School. The building was constructed of sod.
That Picture I have shows 29 pupils and the teacher: a stately gentlemen with well groomed hair, a long white beard, and mustache. The picture is featured in Angie Debo's book "Prairie City."
Wheat farming and cattle,
and horse trading was a great part of John Leander Wolfs' way of making a
living.
William Wolf and son-in-law, Leonard Tullous are listed with the Cherokee
Cattlemens' Association, their business was driving cattle on the Cherokee
Trail, Chislm.
Leonard Tullous later settled in Marlow Oklahoma.
John Leander Wolf was a member of Marshall Odd Fellow Lodge NO. 29 at the time of the establishment of the I.O.O.F. North Cemetery, Marshall Oklahoma.
John Leander Wolf was injured in a runaway wagon accident, and he never completely recovered, quite some time later he died at the age of 62 years.
Frances M. Mitchell Wolf and children Maude and Ben remained on the farm until her death several years later.
There were thirty grandchildren. The last of their children, Omega Murphy lived to be 96 years of age, she is buried in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Marshall Oklahoma.
Homestead papers found Sept 23, 1893 thru July 28,1909 in Oklahoma Territory, Land Office being at Enid.
NINE CHILDREN:
ALTHA SARAH WOLF, born Feb. 22, 1874 in Des Moines, Iowa / married Oct. 1,
1891, Logan Co., Guthrie, Oklahoma, to Leonard Tullous - and died of cancer
of the breast on Sept. 7, 1941 in Stephens Co., Marlow Oklahoma / buried

Tribute to Lottie S.
White (of Marshall Oklahoma)
(my 2nd great grandmother)
Friday evening, June 12, 1942, we were shocked and grieved by the sudden home-going of Mrs. Lottie White, one of our few remaining pioneers and best examples of neighborliness and old-fashioned motherhood.
Her close friends knew she was in failing health, but it was not apparent to the casual observer, for she was never one to complain. Friday morning she seemed well as usual as she enjoyed her daily back fence chat with her neighbor, Mrs. Christian, sending her on her way to Enid with a wish for a happy day and no rain. On her return, it was Mrs. Christian who found that while she was gone a heavenly visitor had come and taken Mrs. White to her eternal home.
Born in Minnesota in
1860, her childhood was clouded by the Civil War but she proved an exception
to the rule and developed a sunny disposition and was known for her kindness
of heart. She was united in marriage to Thomas M. White in 1883 at New Almelo,
Kansas and came to Oklahoma in 1894 settling on the farm which they
still owned northeast of town. She endured all the hardships of the pioneers
uncomplainingly, creating a happy atmosphere for her husband and children
and holding a special place in the hearts of her neighbors.
To her came the rare distinction of rearing two sets of twins to maturity, a feat seldom achieved. She united with the Methodist Church in her girlhood, remaining loyal to the day of her death. Of her it can be truthfully said she placed her home and her Lord first. Moving to town several years ago she took an active part in church and community activties; she was a member of the M.E. Circle, Mrs. Darlings S.S.Class, and the Sunshine Club.
You can boast of your
new fashioned mother
And tell of her virtues all day long
I sing of an old-fashioned Mother
Who rocked her babies to sleep with a song.
She toiled all day long and was happy
Never minding the cold or the heat
She was building a home for her children
They had land and something to eat.
She always had time for her children
Despite the chores she had to do
She trained them to be good citizens
To their homes, and their friends to be true
She visited the sick, and her neighbors,
Of kindness who had a great store
I'll miss her, but some day we'll see her
On that beautiful golden shore
She was an old-fashioned Mother
Living their lives of courage and trueth.
-Daisy Thompson-
She leaves to mourn her passing three daughters, Mrs. Claudia Ahrnsbrak,
Mrs. Ethel Roberts, both of Marshall, Mrs. Tessie Wolf, Covington; three
sons, Carl, of Marshall, Edwin of Graff, MO, and Arthur of San Antonio
Texas. Nineteen grandchildren, nine great-grand children, one sister, Mrs
Sterner of Ada, and a host of friends. One daughter, Mrs Nellie Wolf, and
her husband, Thomas White, preceded her in death.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our
friends for their expressions of sympathy in the
sudden death of our mother, and for the beautiful floral offerings.
