Benjamin Franklin Wolfe (He was not yet born, but he wanted to be in
the famly photo, so he had Mrs. Lavella
Porter, a local photographer in Monticello,
AR, put him in the picture.)
There was one more daughter..Scharlotte Wolfe who died before six months
of age. There was one more
son...Columbus Patton (Pat) Wolfe.
He was the baby and not yet born. He died about 20 in a killing near
theLone Sassafras Cemetery
on Long Prairie.
The Wolfes came to Drew Co. about l840's from Kemper Co., MS. Dock's
father was Phillip Samuel Wolfe and his mother was Elizabeth Daniel (born
in Fayette Co., TN). The Wolfes were in Perry Co., AL before that
and originally from Orangeburgh
, SC.
The Etheridges and Berryman's in the Green Hill Community all descend from
sisters of Philip Samuel Wolfe. Another brother, Hilliard Vasetine
Wolf, moved across the Saline River and settled north of Banks in
Bradley County, Arkansas.

Each year, a group of the men from the Prairie Community would go "down in
the Swamp" huntin. Deer didn't start coming to the Prairie and western
Drew Co. too much until the land in the bottoms was being cleared for
farming in large quanties. My Aunt Mary Thurman...70 years old....doesn't
remember seeing a deer until about l930's and 40's.
They would take wagons or their old cars and tent for sleeping
arrangements. They would stay gone for a week or two at the time in
the fall.
