You can obtain a copy of Mr. Wolfe's Death Certificate by contacting the Dept. of Public Health & Human Services-Vital Statistics division. You may have to provide identification and your relationship to the deceased. Go to the following website and scroll down to where you can link to and print the form you need to submit:

I checked the 1930 census and learned that Mr. Wolfe was a patient at the Montana State Hospital for the "Insane."

Since was probably still a patient at Montana State Hospital at the time of his death, there probably was no obituary printed in the local papers. All old hospital records are housed at the Montana State Historical Society's Library and Archives, located in Helena, Montana. You can contact them and they will explain the process for obtaining some of the hospital's records. These records generally provide you with genealogical information. Go to the following website. You may have to phone to get more information about the process:

Good luck in your search. I hope you have found the above information useful.
