Seems to be a big disparity in what his obit says about his marriages and what other people have on line. His obit says his first wife was Marion Imberry by whom he had 9 children, and second wife was Franziska Feist. Also states he had several step children named Meier, so Franziska had to have been married to a Meier first From Ashley Golden Jubilee Book: Mr. and Mrs. John K. Wolf In October, 1888, Mr. Wolf was married to Francisca Feist by the Rev. Father Bernard Strasmeier and to this union the following children were born, namely: John J., born September, 1890, now farming near Zeeland; Nick, born March 1892, also farming near Zeeland; Joseph, born June 1893, now a merchant at Herried, S. D.; Frank, born January 1898, now a merchant at Zeeland, N. D.; Mathias, born November, 1899, farming near Zeeland; Katharina, born October, 1901, wife of Math Schneider, Linton, N. D.; Juliana, born June, 1903, wife of Silvester Engelhart, Venturia, N. D.; Magdalene, born June, 1905, wife of Mathias Klein, Zeeland, N. D., and Bernhard, born June 1907, oil dealer, Zeeland, N. D. Through hard work and careful saving the Wolf family prospered and are well known throughout the county of McIntosh. Mr. Wolf has long since retired from farming, and now makes his home in Zeeland, N. D.
according to Obit, he had a wife named Karen with 3 children when he moved to Seattle, so I am not sure which of his children listed belong to which wife.
