St. Helena Star, July 6, 1967
Funeral services for Mrs. Lydia Jane Kime-Wollkill, wife of Dr. Guy F. Wolfkill, were held Monday, July 3, at 2:00 p.m., at the Morrison Funeral Chapel, St. Helena.
Mrs. Wolfkill suffered a sudden and severe stroke at her home on Sunday forenoon, June 25, and passed away at the St. Helena Sanitarium and Hospital early Thursday morning. During the 4-day illness she was unconscious and apparently, free from pain. On the day before being stricken, Mrs. Wolfkill had been with a group of friends welcoming two of her former students back from Africa, after more than thirty years of service there.
Since 1914, when Dr. and Mrs. Wallkill joined Pacific Union faculty, they have had continuous residence in Angwin, with the exception of ten years, from 1921 to 1931, when they were associated in work with Adventist colleges other than Pacific Union. In 1931, they re-joined the faculty here.
Parents of Lydia Jane were Eld. and Mrs. Samuel Henderson Kline, who at the time of her birth were living in North Carolina. This was June 2, 1882. Her father, a pioneer minister in the south, built the first Seventh-day Adventist church south of the Mason-Dixon line. It still stands.
When Lydia was six years old, the family left North Carolina and journeyed to Idaho, there locating in the town of Viola. The next move was to College Place, Washington, after the founding of Walla Walla College with its educational advantages.
There Miss Kime went through Academy grades; took courses in giving Bible instruction, in teaching, and in stenography, and in 1904 was graduated, needing only one semester to receive a Bachelor of Arts Degree. Later this work was completed, and the degree conferred by Pacific Union College.
After finishing at Walla Walla College, she served there in secretarial work, taught church school for two years, and was then employed by the college as a normal training teacher.
Marriage to Guy Fontelle Wolfkill on September 5, 1906, brought about the union of two educational and teaching careers, continuing for Mrs. Wolfkill more than forty years, and for her husband over fifty.
Mrs. Wolfkill received her Master of Arts degree in the University of Nebraska, and did graduate work for her doctorate at University of California, Berkeley.
In two colleges, Walla Walla and Pacific Union, she served as Assistant Normal Director. During the years she was Home Economics Director in Columbia Union College, Washington, D.C.; Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska; and in Pacific Union College. In two colleges she was dean of women; and through the years did, secretarial work for presidents, business managers and other officials.
The fifth Adventist school in which Mrs. Wolfkill gave valuable service was Emmanuel Missionary College, (now Andrews University), Berrien Springs, Michigan. While may from California, Dr. Wolfkill was president of that school from 1924 to 1930, "pioneering years." After that, according to the record, "with the help of a reserve of nearly $30,000 built up during G.F. Wolfkill's administration, the school survived the depression." The college "progressively improved its physical plant and strengthened its academic offerings." While at Emmanuel Missionary College, Mrs. Wallkill served as administrative secretary.
Mrs. Wolfkill retired officially when head of the Home Economics department in Pacific Union College in 1945, but she continued in lines of service. For ten consecutive years she was the clerk for the large Pacific Union College Church. She was always a leader in social affairs, particularly those having to do with the happiness of elderly people or others needing special encouragement.
The Wolfkill home, 235 White Cottage Road, So., Angwin, has for many years been widely known as an outstanding place of beauty, and friends from far and near have visited there. Many hundreds of farmer students and associate workers have there been made happy by the warmth and friendship of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfkill, and inspired by their magnificent perfectly-kept gardens and lawns, and varieties of choice plants, flowers, and stately trees. The fact that Mrs. Wolfkill has never expressed the desire to live in any other place but Angwin was mentioned by the minister in his sermon.
Hayward V. Shafer, Associate Pastor of the Pacific Union College Adventist church, was the officiating minister at the funeral. In the service with him were Dr. Paul Quimby, who gave Scripture reading and prayer, and Doctor Rittenhouse, the obituary.
Mrs. Barbara Morton, soloist, accompanied by Beverly Hays, sang two numbers, "When the Roll is Called up Yonder," and "He Washed My Eyes with Tears that I might see".
Mrs. Wolfkill is survived by her husband, Dr. Guy F. Wolfkill; two sisters, Loma Linda, California, Mrs. Florence Adams Smith, and Dr. Naomi Pitman, medical staff member of Loma Linda University; a brother, Walkitt Kime, Seattle, Washington; two nieces, Mrs. Gladys Tunnell, Angwin, and Mrs. Betty Behrens, Colton, daughter of Mrs. Smith; and a grandnephew, Dr. Zane Kline, son of Mrs. Tunnell, 1966 graduate of Loma Linda University, now setting up medical practice in Sundance, Wyoming. With the exception of the brother in Seattle, all of these were present at the funeral.
Pallbearers were Dr. John Weaver, Dr. C.L. Woods, Elder Taylor Bunch, Elder W.C. Raley, Prof. L.G. Severens and Prof. H.W. Clark.
Interment was in the St. Helena Cemetery.
