On the front page of the
Oct. 21st issue of the Dallas
Post, appeared a picture of
an elderly man selling
apples and cider. The photo
was taken by a Back Moun-
tain resident, Adele Sch-
wartz and won an award in
a contest.
The day after the paper
was received by sub-
scribers, a call was re-
ceived from Mrs. Walter
Wolfe of Lehman, identi-
fying the cider seller as her
died July 26 of this year.
She explained that the
picture was taken at the
flea market at Lehman
Horse Show Grounds one
Sunday afternoon when
Walter decided to take his
truck loaded with apples,
pears and cider and spend
a few hours selling to the
persons coming to the
market.
When he returned home,
he mentioned to his wife,
that some girl had taken
his picture while he was
sitting there but dismissed
it from their minds.
/
cider were well known
among people in the Back
Mountain and Wyoming
Valley. For years, Walter
sometimes assisted by his
wife, the former Marie
Fraley of Wilkes-Barre,
tended the orchards and
picked apples for sale and
cider on their expansive
farm property.
. “He was known as the
“apple man of the area”,
and sold his apples and
cider at the Farmers’
Market in Kingston and the
flea market at the horse

show grounds. We raised
all the old, traditional
apples-Baldwin, Sheep-
nose, Northern Spies,
McIntosh and Delicious.”
/ ‘At one time, we raised
/ cattle, pigs and chickens,
made our own butter, and
baked our own bread. I
canned dozens and dozens
of vegetables and fruits
and later, froze that many
more.
“Later, after Walter’s
health declined, we had
only a small garden with
just a few crops.”
The Wolfes sold much of
their property, some of it to
Jim Parry, who now
bottles and sells cider from
the apples in the orchards,
and property on the other
side of the road to Leslie
Hoover. Marie Wolfe now
has about 40 acres, which is
still a lot to worry about,
according to her.
Marie and Walter were
married Christmas Day,
1933 and moved immed-
family home on the farm in
Lehman Township.
Walter’s father, an excell-
ent carpenter and cabinet
maker as well as farmer,
built the house and other
buildings on the property.
The couple farmed from
the time they were
married, with Marie also
keeping house and doing
was a graduate of Wyo-
ming Valley Hospital
where she was supervisor
of obstetrics for eight
years. In addition, Marie
usually had six to eight
people for meals, people,
who were relatives or
assisting the farm chores.
During the war, she
didn’t know where she was
needed most, serving food
at home or helping the
wounded. She also drove a
truck during the war.
Marie helped deliver and in
many cases, delivered
babies throughout the Leh-
man and Back Mountain
area. She had no children
of her own but has many
“of my babies’ scattered
around the country.
She spent years traveling
roads ministering to
patients day and night.
The original wood 'and
paneling is still throughout
the Wolfe home. Part of the
farm was the former home
of the Cases where Glen
Case was born.
There were and still are
many large farm pro-
perties in the area. Some of
these older places were ob-
tained after the Civil War
when soldiers were given
land grants on their return
home.
Marie remembers
Walter’s father telling
about his first trip into
town when a boy. He
walked from the farm to
took care of her sister-in-
law, Letha, for five years
when she was ill, prior to
her death a year before
Marie’s late husband.
She recalls that she and
Walter had many happy
and sometimes, sad, mom-
ents together. They worked
as a team and always
picked the first crop- to-
gether.
Throughout the years,
they shared and she still
shares the pleasure of her
sister’s children, who lived
around here until not too
long ago when they moved
to New Jersey.
Leisure time activities?
A cardiac condition limits
she enjoys doing general
housework in her home.
She also sews and does
some needlework and
crocheting.
Marie still drives but not
as much as she used to. She
limits herself to short trips
in nice weather.
She has a ‘green thumb’
and a variety of plants
abounds in the rooms of her
huge home. A begonia
plant is flourishing so well
there is no longer room to
accommodate it.
Mrs. Wolfe likes to read,
a little bit of everything but
all good books. Television,
“itis alright”, according to
Marie. She enjoys watch-
ing the news, ice skating
programs and such things
as the Olympics but that’s
about it.
At one time, she and her
late husband were active
members and workers in
the Meeker Church, now
razed. They assisted in
serving suppers and were
co-treasurers of the
church.
When able, Marie now
attends Lehman United
Methodist Church. She is
also a past matron of
Dallas Chapter, O.E.S.,
No. 396. She also holds
membership in the Pro-
fessional Nurses Associat-
ion.
Marie likes to travel and
several years ago, she,
Walter and Letha covered
14,000 miles throughout the
western part of the
country. They also
traveled to Florida and
Canada but not as often as
they would have liked to
because of the farm and its
responsibilities.
Walter may be gone but
Marie is not alone. She has
her miniature collie, who is
ever by her side and many,
many friends, who call on
her often to share mem-
ories of the happy and sad
moments of the years long
