Glynn Wolfe

Glynn Wolfe

Glynn Wolfe aka Scotty Wolfe (July 25, 1908 – June 10, 1997) holds the record for the largest number of monogamous marriages at 29. His shortest marriage lasted 19 days, and his longest lasted seven years. He was a Baptist minister who resided in Blythe, California. His final marriage to Linda Essex was a publicity stunt for a British TV documentary. They only spent a week together before she moved back to her home in Anderson, Indiana.

He died in Redlands, California at the age of 88.

Glynn "Scotty" Wolfe's last wife, Linda Essex-Wolfe, said she would like to give him a proper burial but could not afford to fly across the United States to be at the funeral. The couple had spent only a week together last year, when they tied the knot in front of cameras for a British TV documentary. Unwilling to leave her hometown, the bride flew back to Anderson, Indiana, and sent letters to her husband, who could not bring himself to leave the sunshine in California. "As soon as I saw him, I knew I cared for him, Mrs. Essex-Wolfe said. "He was a charmer. He married a lot of beautiful women, a lot of young women." Mr. Wolfe's 33-year-old son, John Glenn Wolfe, said his father married so often because he was against living in sin and was picky and stubborn. "He divorced one wife for eating sunflower seeds in bed" he said. John Wolfe would like to help out with the funeral but he only earns $7 an hour working for Burger King. He barely knows any of his stepmothers and never even met his own mother, wife No. 14. John Wolfe is also unsure if the reports that his father really had the 19 children, 40 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren are true, because he has never met any of them. Mr. Wolfe died with $430 to his name, which will be used to pay for a pauper's funeral. His son said he would like to raise the $1,150 to have the body cremated.
