Extensive plans are being made by the Appling County Heritage Center to honor a beloved historian, the late Robert Solomon Wolfe. A special program is planned to induct Wolfe into the Hall Of Fame. His portrait will hang beside that of other prominent Appling Countians. J. B. Oliff of Douglas, formerly of Appling County and long time friend of Rob Wolfe will be principal speaker.
Wolfe is remembered by many older citizens as having taught in many one room schools in the area. He was one of the first to realize the importance of preserving local and family history. His weekly column appeared in the Baxley News Banner and he was heard on the local radio station, WHAB, on Sunday afternoons. The Wolfe family has donated a large collection of his writings, memorabilia and other important documents relating to Appling County and family history to the Heritage Center. Many family researchers have found jewels of information among his historical work.
Family, friends, former students and the public are encouraged to attend this special program.
A special exhibit of the Robert Solomon Wolfe Collection will be shown.
