Glynn Wolfe

Glynn DeMoss Wolfe (July 25, 1908 – June 10, 1997) was an American Baptist minister and hotel owner who resided in Blythe, California. Wolfe is best known for allegedly having the largest number of monogamous marriages, having married 31 different times, although one of his marriages was annulled and several remain unconfirmed.

Biography Glynn DeMoss Wolfe's father, John Wolfe, was a coal mine operator in Freelandville and the sheriff of Knox County.

In 1960, Wolfe was a candidate for justice of the peace in Las Vegas, campaigning on better retirement homes and extra assistance to elderly people. He placed last during the primaries. That same year, Wolfe was ordained a Baptist minister of the Traveler's Rest Baptist Church in Los Angeles, but "sort of lost interest" in his ministry when his license to perform marriages was revoked, and abandoned it to pursue a career as a barber.

During his 7th marriage to a woman named Mary, Wolfe bought an all-women hotel in Hollywood.

Wolfe died on June 10, 1997 of heart disease in a nursing home Redlands, California, at the age of 88. His body went unclaimed, and he was eventually buried in Blythe. None of the 29 women he legally married, and only one of his approximately 19 children, attended the funeral service.

Marriages Between 1926 and until his death in 1997, Wolfe married 29 different women. Most of his marriages were to teenagers. In an interview with the New York Daily News, he described his young wives as "fun", saying he could "just speak their language".
