Levi may have had a middle name/initial of C as information as to the position of the people in the photograph (2nd) was accompanied with a hand written sheet of paper and it has Levi C. Wolfe b-4-10-1836 ---- died 5-19-1901. Also Matilda (Deiffenbacher(Lantz)) Wolfe - b 7-31-1836--- died 1-7-1917. This picture was taken the day after Matilda was put to rest and while all of the children were there. According to Anna Belle Fisher, Aunt Addie told the rest of the brothers and sisters that if they would stay and have their picture taken the next day that she would have an oyster supper for them.

(Early's raid on Washington ? Jubal Anderson Early, Confederate Army Officer (1816 - 1894) conducted raids on Washington and Pennsylvania. Appointed Colonel and later Lt General and took command of Stonewall Jackson's old Second Corps. Source is from the Coller's Encyclopedia1964.) From this information, Levi appears to have received a gunshot wound so could assume it was during one of these raids

Do not understand the reason why Levi and Matilda are seperated at this time as have found Matilda enumerated with a daughter, Ella Swinehart, and why is he listed as a widow in this enumeration ?
