Dominick Wise
Dominick Wise, farmer, P. O. Randolph, was born in Europe, September 24, 1832, son of Jacob and Magdalene Wise, who came to America and settled in Ohio, where they remained until their death. Our subject was married (the first time) in 1856 to Maria Earhart, who died October 12, 1870, after which, in 1872, he was married to Clara Winisheimer, born in Germany, October 10, 1839, daughter of Balser and Jacob Winisheimer. Our subject is the father of eight children: John C, Louise M., David L. and Joseph W. by his first wife, and Mary E., Dominick A., Stephen H. and Magdalene by his second wife. Mr. Wise is a cooper by trade, but has engaged in farming for several years, and owns sixty-five acres of improved land on which he and his family reside. He is a man that takes great interest in his family, and his word is as good as his note. Himself and family are members of the Catholic Church. Mr. Wise's second wife died October 9, 1884.
