Born in Mainz, Germany
At 4:30 o'clock this morning, after a long and painful illness, Louis Wise passed away from the ranks of the living to the realm of the dead. He was born 56 years, 1 month and 11 days ago at Mainz, Germany. He came to the United States with his parents when quite young and settled in New York, where he engaged in business. In 1862, Mr. Wise enlisted in the 70th New York, which was known as the Excelsior regiment of New York volunteers commanded by Col. Egbert, and one of the famous regiments which the Empire State sent to the Union army. The army history of Mr. Wise shows that he was a good soldier. He participated in many of the battles in Virginia and was mustered out of service with an honorable record.
In 1867 he came to Brownsville and for some years was engaged in the commission business, where he accumulated a competence. He was also for a number of years in the customs service, where he bore the reputation of a good officer.
In 1881, Mr. Wise was married Miss Annie Hornstein. She survives him with three children, Leo, aged 14, Emily 10 and Aimee, 2 years.
As is the case with most true soldiers, Mr. Wise was generous minded and chivalrous. His disposition was genial, his bearing gentlemanly. Neat in person, tasteful in dress and courteous in conduct, he would attract attention anywhere. It was a pleasure to meet him. His conversation was always worth hearing.
In the death of Louis Wise, Brownsville has lost a good citizen. A wide circle of friends will sadly miss him and the bereavement of his family is irreparable. They have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
Mr. Wise will be buried this evening by the masonic fraternity and the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic, of which organizations he was an honored member. (Brownsville Daily Herald, 25 Aug 1896, p. 3 - Submitted by Olivia Leal)
