A biosketch [9] of son Frederick reported:
Frederick H Wise was born in Mansfield, Ohio, February 13, 1859, and to the public school system of the county he is indebted for the educational privileges which he received. He represents one of the old families of Pennsylvania. His father, Henry Wise, was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1819, and with his parents was brought to Ohio when only six years of age, the family locating in Mansfield. After arriving at the age of maturity, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Bossier, who was born near Mansfield in 1828. They became the parents of ten children: John who died in childhood; Isaac, who was born near Mansfield and married Sarah Hursh, by whom he has one living child, their home being at Fort Wayne, Indiana; Henry, who died in childhood; Mary, wife of James Livingstone; William Frank, who married Caroline Magg, of Mt Eaton Ohio and died, leaving a widow and one daughter, Hazel their home being on Third street in Mansfield; Frederick, whose name introduces this article, was married to Sarah E Livingstone; Sarah, the wife of Darius Wolford, a resident of Hiawatha, Kansas, by whom she has three children; Samuel, who married Lizzie Frietchen, and resides in Mansfield; and Martin, a molder by trade, also living in Mansfield. Frederick H Wise, the subject of this article, spent his youth upon the home farm and in early manhood engaged in farming and draying. About eight years ago, he purchased a brick yard, owned by the Ohio Brick and Tile Company. For four years, he was associated with three partners. On the expiration of that period, the plant was destroyed by fire, and Mr Wise purchased the interest of his partners. He then rebuilt, and has since carried on the business alone. He manufactures brick of a superior quality and has secured a large trade, his annual output being extensive. His business methods are systematic. In all his dealings he is honorable, and in business circles, he enjoys a high reputation from his unswerving honesty. He is a member of the National Union, also of St Luke's English Lutheran church, and wherever known he is held in high regard.
