  district schools, and then began to learn the trade of a carpenter in

  ing his apprenticeship, he worked for a year as a journeyman, and in 1874, he
  went to Huntsdale, where he remained three years. His next location was at
  Boiling Springs, where he engaged in the cabinetmaking and undertaking
  business, so continuing for ten years. In 1888 he removed to Mt. Holly
  Springs, and embarked in a millwright and machine business there. His next
  move was to enter the Mt. Holly Paper Company, and he is now master mechanic
  of that concern, and has been for sixteen years (1904).
    
    In 1875, Mr. Wise married Emma C. Nailer, daughter of Daniel and Caroline
  Nailer of South Middleton township. Four children have been born of this
  marriage: Carrie A., born at Huntsdale, is a resident of Philadelphia; Frank
  M., born at Boiling Springs, is now at Cleveland, Ohio, being a pattern maker
  and a fine mechanic; Bertha M., born at Boiling Springs, is at home; Emma
  Ruth, born at Mt. Holly Springs, is also at home.
    
    In politics, Mr. Wise is a Democrat, and has served ably for two terms as
  school director of South Middletown township. In religious matters, he is a
  member of the United Brethren Church, and has been treasurer of the Sunday
  School at Mt. Holly Springs for the past sixteen years. His wife and family
  are members of the United Evangelical Church of Mt. Holly, and all are
  excellent church members. Their pleasant home is located at No. 107 Baltimore
  avenue, where a gracious hospitality is dispensed.
