The funeral of Thomas J. Wolfe, a Civil War veteran, will be held Friday afternoon at 1 o’clock at the Forest Hill cemetery chapel.  The service will be in charge of the members of Alexander-Mitchel post, G. A. R.   Mr. Wolfe was until about one year ago a resident of this city.  Because of his advanced age, 91 years, and suffering from the infirmities of age he went to Dayton and entered the home maintained by the national government for disabled volunteer soldiers.  In the Civil war he served in Company I, 15th Indiana Volunteers.  He was a member of Alexander-Mitchel G.A.R. post.  He died Wednesday. Surviving the deceased veteran are his four sons, Thomas J. Wolfe, Connersville, Ind., Emmitt Wolfe, Dayton, Charles Wolfe, Indianapolis, Bert Wolfe, Hamilton.
