I am trying to locate the death dates and possibly final resting palace for this couple. In tracing this family, I last find Mary listed as "M.E." on the 3/1/1885 Union, Bourbon Co., KS census. I have her name as Mary Louise Franklin Wolf b.abt 1848 Knoxville, Knox Co., TN. For Joseph Wolf 12/1836 Wesphalia, Prussia, I last locate him on the 1900 Marion, Bourbon Co., KS census, widowed. His name may have also included "Francis" as I did find a listing of marriage in IL for a Francis M.Wolfs that married a Mary L. Franklin 1/17/1872. Her family was in Logan Co., IL in 1870. Unless he was married previously, the date is not right for ages of children. Per the 1880 Marion, Bourbon Co., Kansas census the family is listed as:
Age Est.bd Born F.b. M.b.
Wolf, Joseph 44 1836 Westphalia Westphalia Westphalia
Mary E. 33 1848 TN VA TN
Jerome A 13 1867 KS
Henry J. 11 1869 KS
Wm J. 6 1874 KS
Edmon M. 3 1877 KS
Charles 1 1879 KS
The 1885 Census adds Children:
J.D. 4 1881 KS (male)
B.H(S). 1 1884 KS (male)
Hartman, A.L. 1 1884 KS (male)No relation given

I have not found a listing for this couple in 1870, however it appears they were in KS about 1867. I have called 2 funeral homes listed that dated back to 1885, but neither had any info on this couple. Any info would be most appreciated.
