Biographical Note
The central figures in the collection are Leo T. Wolford (1890-1971) and his son Thorp L. Wolford (1918-2012). The Wolfords and other related families, particularly the Jackson family, lived primarily in Versailles, Linton, and Terre Haute, Indiana. Leo and Thorp both lived and worked in Louisville, Kentucky, later in their lives.
Leo Wolford (1890-1971)
Leo Thorp Wolford was born May 1, 1890, in Linton, Indiana, to Edwin Lafayette Wolford (1861-1913), president and general manager of United Fourth Vein Coal Company, and Anna “Annie” Emily Thorp (1863-1935). His grandfather, John William Wolford (1837-1922), ran J. W. Wolford & Sons Department Store in Linton, Indiana. Leo had three siblings: Earl Clarence (1884-1969), Raymond Elmer (1887-1951), who married Zulla Leona Burress (1888-1966) and worked as bookkeeper for the United Fourth Vein Coal Company, and Jessie Ellen (1895-1972).
Leo graduated from Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana, and from the University of Chicago. He obtained his Indiana teacher’s certificate in 1917 and worked as a history and economics teacher at New Albany High School from 1917 to 1918.
In 1916, he married Leah Jackson (1892-1918) of Versailles and New Albany, Indiana. Leah died of an infection in 1918, a week after giving birth to their son, Thorp. Leo never remarried. Thorp lived with Leo’s mother and sister Jessie in Indiana as a child.
Leo was admitted to the Kentucky Bar in 1919 and practiced law in Louisville at Bruce & Bullitt and successor firms. He served in the Army during World War I from around September 1918 to April 1919, serving at least for a time at Camp Zachary Taylor and Camp Knox. After his discharge, he returned to his practice and lived in Louisville at the Mayflower Apartments during the week while commuting to Versailles, Linton, or Terre Haute on many weekends to visit Thorp and the rest of the family.
Leo was actively involved in Louisville civic and legal groups, including serving as treasurer and president of the Filson in the 1950s and 1960s. He was also involved with the Louisville Title Insurance Company, Interstate Canning Company, Louisville Free Public Library, Louisville Bar Association, Pendennis Club, Lawyers Club, Conversation Club, Louisville Gas and Electric Company, Royal Crown Bottling Company, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and many other organizations.
He died on December 6, 1971, in Louisville.
Leah Jackson Wolford, 1892-1918
Leah Florence Jackson was born on September 7, 1892, in Versailles, Indiana, to Allie Belle Underwood (1867-1941) and Hiram Newton “Newt” Jackson (1863-1915).
She attended Franklin College, where she studied music and met her future husband, Leo Wolford. She graduated in 1912 and worked as principal at her Versailles high school the following year. In 1914 she enrolled in the University of Chicago, where she earned a Master of Arts. She was an accomplished scholar and published a book about Indiana folklore, games, and music titled The Play-Party in Indiana in 1917.
She married Leo on her twenty-fourth birthday, September 7, 1916. She gave birth to Thorp Wolford on January 8, 1918. A week later, on January 14, she died of peritonitis at age twenty-five.
Thorp Wolford (1918-2012)
Thorp Lanier Wolford was born on January 8, 1918, in New Albany, Indiana, to Leo Wolford (1890-1971) and Leah Jackson (1892-1918). He lived in Terre Haute, Indiana, with his grandmother Anna Wolford and aunt Jessie Wolford when he was a child.
He graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, in 1937 and earned his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University in 1941. He served as a sergeant in the Army Signal Corps during World War II, working at intelligence gathering posts at Vint Hill, Virginia, and Honolulu, Hawaii. He earned his law degree from Harvard in 1944 and was admitted to the Kentucky Bar in 1948. He practiced law in Louisville as a partner at Middleton, Seelbach, Wolford, Willis, & Cochran. He also earned his Master of Arts from the University of Louisville in 1955.
In 1942, he married Evelyn Regina Cox (1920-2014) of Boston, Massachusetts. Thorp and Evelyn raised seven children and were actively involved in Louisville civic, social, and church groups, including the Louisville Arts Club and the Conversation Club.
He died on February 9, 2012, in Louisville.
Evelyn Wolford (1920-2014)
Evelyn Regina Cox was born on January 4, 1920, in Boston to Henry F. G. Cox and Alice Cox. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Simmons College in Boston before marrying Thorp Wolford in 1942. Together they lived in Louisville and had seven children.
Evelyn was involved in many clubs and organizations, including the Louisville Ballet, the American Association of University Women (AAUW), the Arts Club of Louisville (for which she became the first female president), the University of Louisville Women’s Club, the Crescent Hill Woman’s Club, and the Woman’s Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention. She was a writer and poet, and in 2010 she and Thorp published a book of their poetry titled “Going On.”
She died on August 6, 2014.
Jessie Wolford (1895-1972)
Jessie Ellen Wolford, sister of Leo Wolford, was born on December 26, 1895, in Linton, Indiana, to Edwin Lafayette Wolford (1861-1913) and Anna “Annie” Emily Thorp (1863-1935).
Jessie graduated from Linton grade school around 1910, from Alhambra High School in California in 1914, and from Franklin College in Indiana in 1918. She did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin in 1919 and 1920. She also took some classes at Columbia University in New York in 1925 and at Indiana State Teacher’s College in 1944.
She taught at Concannon High School in Terre Haute, Indiana, for 34 years, from about 1919 until her retirement in 1953. She was also involved in several social, civil, and academic organizations throughout her life. She was president of Delta Kappa Gamma honorary teacher’s society, a member and one-time president of her chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), a member of Delta Zeta alumnae chapter, and a member of First Baptist Church in Terre Haute.
She died on May 13, 1972.
Flo White (1877-1943)
Florence “Flo” Jackson was born on February 6, 1877, in Johnson, Ripley County, Indiana, to James B. Jackson and Nancy Hyatt. She was the sister of Hiram Newton Jackson, aunt of Leah Jackson, and great aunt of Thorp Wolford. Flo wrote many letters to Leo and Thorp Wolford over the years.
In 1893, she married Lewis “Lew” Lester White (1874-1930), and they lived together in Versailles, Indiana, throughout their lives. Lew worked with Flo’s brother Newton Jackson in the mercantile business for many years before opening his own department store, located at U.S. Road 50 and State Road 29 in Versailles. The store eventually burned down, and Lew later became the southeastern Indiana representative for the securities department of the Meyer-Kiser Bank of Indianapolis. In 1930, Lew died in a car accident.
Flo was a writer and had an interest in genealogy—she wrote several genealogical sketches about the Hyatt family, Jackson family, and other relatives.
She died on August 18, 1943.
