Johannes, the son of August Wolf was still in the household in the 1885 Kansas census but apparntly died in 1890 according to the parish history book which provides some genealogy of the Schoenchen families. However, he is not listed in the burial booklet "Life Eternal" so he may moved from the area prior to his death.

The gravestone shows August's birth year as 1833 which is probably low by 10 years with most records placing his birth year in the 1841 to 1846 range.
