A biosketch of a son reports [37]:
M. L. WISE.--Among the self-made men now prominent in business and manufacturing circles of Sacramento is the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, who was born in Richland County, Ohio, April 26, 1846. His father, Hon. Jacob Wise, was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was the son of a gentleman whose father had come from Germany and located there. He learned the carpenter's trade. He removed to Ohio, and then followed farming. He was an active man, and figured largely in political history there. The mother of the subject, whose maiden name was Lydia Hibbard, was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania. M. L. Wise was but eighteen months old when his parents removed to Fayette, Fulton County, Ohio, where he spent his boyhood days. The breaking out of the civil war roused in the youth the patriotic ardor, and in the spring of 1861, though a mere boy in years, he enlisted in the service of the United States. Going to Camp Chase, Columbus, he was assigned to Company K, Thirty eighth Ohio Volunteer Infautry. After organization they proceeded to Camp Dennison, thence to St. Louis, and from there marched to Crab Orchard and Corinth. His first battle was at Perryville, Kentucky, and he took part in the engagernents of Corinth, Triune and Murfreesboro, the latter on the 22d of July. He was engaged at Chickamanga, and after the rendez-vous at Ringgold, Georgia, proceeded on the march to Atlanta, and was engaged, among others, at the battles of Dalton, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Buzzard's Roost and Tullahoma. He was wounded three times at Jonesboro, in the left arm, left breast and head, and was taken from the field to Atlanta. He was next sent to Nashville, and from there to Jeffersonville, Indiana, where he lay in hospital for three weeks. He was after this sent to Camp Dennison, and was there discharged on the 18th of June, 1865, having served honorably throughout the entire war. He was in the Third Brigade, Third Division of the celebrated Fourteenth Army Corps, under General George H. Thomas. He went to Cincinnati after his discharge, and from there home. There he remained until September 12, 1868, when he started for California via New York and Panama. He left New York on the last opposition steamer, October 5, 1868, and crossing the Isthmus, took passage on the steamer Santiago de Cuba, for San Francisco, where he landed October 30, 1868. He came to Sacramento and went to work for his brother, W. E. Wise, on the following Monday morning, to learn the blacksmith's trade. He remained with his brother nine years and a half, then engaged in business for himself at the Telegraph Shops, on J street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth. On the 1st of October, 1877, he purchased a lease on the property on the corner of Eleventh and J streets, and the firm of Wise & McNair was organized and commenced business there. In the fall of 1879 Mr. Wise bought his partner's interest, and has since carried on the business alone. He has made many improvements on this property, the latest being a large painting department, 40 x 40 feet in ground area, and two stories in height. He has a frontage of forty feet on J street, and 160 feet on Eleventh street. He has built up an extensive trade in the lines of blacksmithing, carriage and wagon-making and carriage painting, and gives constant employment to from twelve to fifteen skilled workmen. Mr. Wise was married in Sacramento County, on the 20th of October, 1875, to Miss Alice P. Taylor, who was born in this county, and is a daughter of J. B. and Ann E. Taylor, a sketch of whom appears in extended detail in another portion of this work. Mr. and Mrs. Wise have one child, Miss Melinda Belle. Mr. Wise is a member of Sumner Post, No.3, G. A. R. He is one of the active, pushing men of Sacramento, and is deserving of much credit for the fine showing he has made in a business way in this city.
