Thank-you for the articles. I am very interested in these since my g.g.grandparents lived in Centerburg until sometime before 1860. He, Daniel Wolf(e), published 2 newspapres in Centerburg but I have been unable to locate him, wife and most of their children after 1860. Did your grandmother live there all her life? Do you have any information about this area of Knox county? I haven't been able to locate anything about them except the newspapers which had no info on the family. Thank-you for any help.
