Comments:
When Reece Wolfe was twenty-one years of age he enlisted in Company F, Seventeenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and served for three years, after which he again enlisted and was in service until the close of the war. He took part in many important engagements and skirmishes, among them being the Battle of Jacksonville and the Siege of Vicksburg. At one time he was taken prisoner and sent to Andersonville but was later transferred to Libby Prison, from which place he was exchanged just as the war drew to a close. During his service he was wounded only once but had many narrow escapes, in one engagement his hat being pierced by bullets five times although he received no injury. He survived the war, but died June 10, 1871 and is buried in the Blue Point Cemetery, Jefferson City, Iowa.
