Biography Wolfe was born in Illinois around 1867. She was fluent in Spanish. They met while she was working as a nurse in the American consul in Mexico. Their relationship was less of a problem in Mexico than it was in Texas.

In December 1906, Beresford died in a train wreck in Minnesota and Wolfe inherited his property. At the end of the court battles, she received $15,000 and a few hundred cattle. She attended church regularly at the Second Baptist Church. Her real estate property was appraised at $5,150 and her personal items were worth $120.65 at the time of her death. People visiting the cemetery claim to see her moving across the grounds in a white dress.
