The entire community honors this ded: 3<*.ted / on behalf of the thousands of his patients and their families, in addition to his friends and admirers.
Although a native New Orleanian, Doctor Wolfe has spent most of his life in Bay St.Louis, having attended St. Stanislaus College, graduating in 1923 at the top of his class. He then entered The Tulane University School of Medicine, finishing among the top ten graduates and became a member of the Alpha Omega Honorary Medical Fraternity. Following internship at Charity Hospital he began the practice of medicine in Bay St.Louis. At the present time he is Chief of Staff at the Hancock General Hospital, and still makes house calls in addition to conducting his office practice in a small medical building on Carroll Avenue, which he shares with his son, Dr. Marion J. Wolfe Jr., a practicing Optometrist.
Dr. Wolfe loves to reminisce about the early days of his medical practice, when he traveled rough country roads at any time of the day or night, caring for patients in Hancock, Harrison and Pearl ^iver counties, and when the Bay Bridge burned he crossed over to Pass Christian by motor boat. In cases where there was no money to pay his fee, he received a chicken, a few eggs or vegetables, and even good friendship. He delivered babies on the kitchen table by the light of a kerosene lamp, and his special delight was to greet the arrival of red headed girls, preferably twins.
He recalls his years of practice in the Kings Daughters' Hospital, a small cottage on Carroll Avenue in use before the fine present Hancock General Hospital was built.
