History of the Wolf Creek, Polk County Wisconsin Cemetery by Duane Doolittle
Duane Doolittle, like his father before him, was on the Wolf Creek Cemetery board for decades. He passed away in 2017, and left big shoes to fill as a Sterling town board member and Cemetery chairman.
In January of 2017, at the Sterling Eureka and Laketown Historical Society Christmas Party, I recorded him telling about the history of the Wolf Creek Cemetery.

The Barn Gets a New Roof
Our farm barn is a few years over 100 years old. The roof has been getting poor and in one place started leaking this summer. We got several quotes and the best was with the local Amish roofers from Frederic, WI.
The came out 3 days in January, put 2x4 purlins over the whole roof and 2x6 edge planks, then screwed white steel panels. We had them put trim on too, do the milk house and then put red steel on the south end of the barn, in poor shape too.
Some photos from the work crew.
