History of Centre County by John Bair Linn:

Paul Wolf was a native of Bethel Township Berks County Pennsylvania. His father and Col. Henry Royer's father lived on adjoining farms there abut after his marriage Paul Wolf moved to his father-in-law's in Bethel Township in Lebanon County thence to Brush Valley in 1812. In 1811 Paul purchased from the Tobias Pickle the mill property and large tract of land lying north across the valley, later known as the John Forster property containing nearly 400 acres. The amount that was paid was 10,300 pounds Pennsylvania currency. He was engaged in business in his new home, keeping a store operating a gristmill, sawmill, fulling mill, oil mill and distillery. The last three were situated near Schroyers Gap at the foot of Mt.
Nittany. His store was kept in his dwelling House the old stone house at Centre Mills. Mr Wolf was a justice of the peace, He was and enterprising citizen and a man universally esteemed. He has brought a large amount of money to the valley but he died at the time of financial depression his large estate was sold at great sacrifice to meet his liabilities.

His funeral rites were the first religious exercises at the brick church at Rebersburg. Mr. Wolf leaves a number of descendants most of which live in Centre & Union Counties. He had seven children: Jacob, Paul, George, Catherine married J A Gast, Sarah married George Walker, Margaret married henry Freeze (Fries) & Mary unmarried.



Paul Wolf purchased in 1811 from Tobias Pickle
the mill property and large tract of land lying north
across the valley, known later as the John Forster
property, containing nearly four hundred acres, and
now divided up into several separate farms. The
amount paid for the whole was ten thousand three
hundred (£10,300) pounds (Pennsylvania currency).
In the following year Mr. Pickle bought back a small
plot for a burial-ground. Mr. Wolf was a native of
Bethel township, Berks County. His father and Col.
Henry Royer's father lived on adjoining farms there;
but after his marriage Paul Wolf moved to his father-
in-law's, in Bethel township, Lebanon County, thence
to Brush valley in 1812. He soon was extensively
engaged in business in his new home, keeping store
and operating a grist-mill, saw-mill, fulling-mill, oil-
mill, and distillery. The last three named were situ-
ated on his land near Shroyer's Gap, at the foot of Nit-
tany Mountain. These have long since disappeared.
His store was kept in his dwelling-house, the old
stone house at Centre Mills. Mr. Wolf was for a
number of years a justice of the peace, and his name is
frequently met with in old deeds and documents of
other kinds. He was an enterprising citizen, and as a
man universally esteemed.

He had brought a large amount of money into the
valley, but becoming involved in debt to some extent
through his various business enterprises, and dying
at a time of financial depression, his large estate had
to be sold at a great sacrifice, and very little remained
after the liabilities were met.

Mr. Wolf was born July 30, 1772; died June 6,
1822. The funeral rites on the occasion of his burial
were the first religious exercises in the brick church
at Rebersburg. The church was then not finished,
but was dedicated soon after. Mr. Wolf leaves a nu-
merous train of descendants, most of whom reside in
Centre and Union Counties. He had seven children, —
Jacob (see notice of); Paul died Dec. 22, 1866, aged
sixty-two; George died about the year 1835, aged
twenty-eight; Catharine married J. A. Gast; Sarah
married George Walker; Margaret married Henry
Freeze; and Mary died single. Hon. S. S. Wolf, son
of Paul, Jr., was a grandson of Paul Wolf.
