Anton Wolf Obituary (1913 - 2008) - Menomonie, Wisconsin

ANTON "TONY" L. WOLF Anton "Tony" Louis Wolf, age 94, of Arkansaw, WI died Monday, March 03, 2008 at the Chippewa Valley Hospital in Durand. He was born Dec. 7, 1913 in Eau Claire, WI to Louis and Louisa (Freidl) Wolf. Tony married Xerpha Blanche Sunderlin in October of 1934 in Wabasha, MN and they had three children. Tony worked at the Walter's and Elmer's Stone Quarries, as an apprentice for his uncle John, where he learned the art of stone cutting. He owned and operated the Filling Station in Downsville, from the mid 1930's to the early 1940's. During W.W.II Tony worked at the Ammunition Plant in Baraboo until 1943 when he purchased the farm in Louisville, where he farmed until his retirement in October of 1977. Tony also cut stone on the side up until his death. He was the last of the stone cutters from the past, but hopefully his trade will live on in two of his dear friends and apprentices, Craig Thibado and Tim Dotseth.
