(NEWPHER) WOLF, ELIZABETH ANNE (1847-1898)

(NEWPHER) WOLF, ELIZABETH ANNE was the wife of Lazarus Wolf.  She was probably born in the Terre Hill, PA area.  She probably was the daughter of James and Mary (???) Newpher. I have not found a marriage record yet. According to her gravestone in Terre Hill Cemetery, Terre Hill, PA she was born 3 May 1847 and died 11 Nov. 1898. According to family members there were 17 children who survived to adulthood - I cannot confirm or deny this currently. See the entry for Lazarus Wolf to see the family group listed in the census for 1870 and 1880.

The below photo of her gravestone is from www.findagrave.com
