Per Nordhoff Cemetery Book 1 1870-1900, by Patricia L. Fry with Dennis Mullican:
"Wolfe", Irvin W. - died July 10. 1915, at the age of 71 years of cancer. Wolfe served in the Civil War as a Union soldier with the 22 Ohio Infantry, Company H. He was wounded in the Battle of Chancellorsville while storming the lookout and was honorably discharged in 1865. Wolfe was a patriotic man and had great respect for those who died while serving their country. He used to boast that he enlisted at the age of 17. Wolfe always observed Memorial Day by planning a yearly program to honor the war dead. He would lead a parade to the cemetery and, with ceremony, decorate each war veteran's grave. He was justice of the peace from 1905 until 1915, when he died. His son, Frank, built him a courthouse in 1910. Wolfe was a member of the Republican Club in Ojai. They had political debates, lectures and studied political issues. He was involved with the Nordhoff Cemetery and was given a plot in exchange for his labor in putting up a windmill in the cemetery. Judge Wolfe was the son of George and Elizabeth Wilkins Wolfe. He was born March 29, 1844, in Athens County, Ohio. When Wolfe died, all of Nordhoff's business district closed and the entire population participated in the funeral procession which Sen. Thomas Bard led through the village. The funeral services were held at the Boyd Club (next to Libbey Park). Pallbearers were D.J. Raddick, Dan Smith, J.F. Cooper, John Gallentine (all Union Army veterans) and William Baron and Ed Hass (Spanish-American War veterans)
