John Wolford, born August 12, 1835 in Baree, Huntingdon County PA and died July 2, 1907 in Los Angeles, CA. He served in Company B, Thirteenth Regiment, PA Voluntary Calvary during the Civil War. John Wolford Obituary 1908

Susannah Wolford was born December 16, 1837 in Barree, PA. She married Jacob Miller Isenberg in her home in Barree on May 7, 1856. They had seven children: Augustus Rupley born 1857, Annie Edna born 1858, John Wolford born 1859, Lucy Ella born 1861, Herbert Grove born 1866, Ralph Bertrand  born 1873, and Henry Wise born 1876.

Susannah once loaned an Eastlake marble top table to her church for use during communion. It remained there until the Church moved to a new building nearly 100 years later. Unbelievably, someone in the Church remembered the table originally belonged to the Isenberg family. It was returned to Don Berkebile. It is a treasured family heirloom and reminder of her kindness and generosity.
