General Notes: Husband - Hon. Jacob Michael Wise

---

He was a prominent lawyer and politician, for twelve years a member of the Legislature, 1820-1832, and major of the First Brigade, Pennsylvania Militia, Colonel McQuaide's regiment. He and his family were members of the Episcopal church, having been baptized in their infancy. From his early manhood, he was one of the most influential members and generous contributors to the church. Before the time of a resident minister, the visiting minister always made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Wise during his stay in Greensburg, and for many years his personal silver communion service was used in the church for all the members. Mr. Wise was a member of the Masonic order, attaining a high degree in Greensburg Lodge, and was buried with the ritual of the order, with full Masonic honors.
