WISE and ALLIES
A native of Rhenish, Bavaria, Mr. Wise emigrated to America with his wife and five children in the year 1839. Locating first at Canal Fulton, He afterwards settled on a farm near Hartville, OH. Although their home was eight miles from the nearest church, which was St Joseph's at Randolph, the family attended services regularly, if at all possible. Often the younger members would walk the entire distance, fasting, in order to receive Holy Communion. Jacob Wise died in 1865 at the age of 64 years. His wife, Mary, nee Hammer, whose kindly good humor and deep religious faith, was reflected in her eight children, survived him almost eight years. She died at the home of her son, Bernard in Suffield, OH on April 10, 1873.Their children were Christina (Mrs Nicholas Schroeder of Massilion, OH), Louisa (Mrs Martin Bissler), Dominic, Jacob Jr, John J, Bernard, Catherine (Mrs S. S. Geib), and Joseph, of St. Joseph's parish. Quite a number of their descendants are now members of St. Joseph's, while others who have established their homes elsewhere are always eager to visit the old home parish, and take a lively interest in its affairs. -----------------------------------------------information of Carl Silger:Jacob Wise ws a native of Rhenish, Bavaria.
