She was married to William Wolfe in about 1860, but they were divorced some
fourteen years later, she retaining the name of Shelhart.
She had been ailing for five years from catarrh of the stomach and dropsy,
but walked about the house the day before she died. For several years she
had lived with her son George Shelhart and his wife. She leaves six children
living- four by her first husband and two by the last- and they are
respectively Mrs. Mary Young , Mrs. Richard Hanuah, Mrs. G.W. Galbreath,
