Brunswick Advertiser  Vol. 5, No. 37 March 20, 1880
   Messrs. Wilder & Co., are putting up substantial works in the upper part of 
town for their distillery, etc., which are quite an improvement on the 
ordinary works through the country. – These gentlemen are getting ready of 
business.

Additional Comments:
Jesse Wilder and his wife Fannie moved to the Brunswick, GA area from 
Wilmington, NC.  He started a turpentine distillery, as he had after returning 
from the Civil War, in Wilmington.  A few years after the death of his wife he 
would return to Wilmington and continue in the turpentine trade until shortly 
before his death in 1914.
