General Notes: Husband - John Laing Wise

---

He was educated in the elementary and high schools of Butler, Pennsylvania, and received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Allegheny College with the class of 1916. As he was early interested in journalism and determined to make it his career, he specialized in that course at the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism. He became managing editor of the Butler "Eagle" in 1916. He was also a director of the Farmers' National Bank. During the first World War he enlisted in January, 1918, and remained in the service of his country until his discharge in March, 1919, while he was stationed at Camp Hancock Officers' Training School. Like his father, Mr. Wise was a Republican and a member of the Methodist Church. His clubs were the Rotary, the Sterling, and the Butler Country. He was a member of the Delta Tau Delta college fraternity.
