What newspaper is this clipping from?
Last night, I found an OLD newspaper clipping about someone who I may be distantly related to.It discusses a John Wise, who died tragically in a workplace accident, but the clipping does not include any info on which newspaper or what date.
I found it in among a box of nearly 200 old family photos, so I believe there is a connection between him and my great grandmother Mary Wise Smith, of MI.The article says that John Wise was survived by his widow and two sons and his only other relative was "an aunt living in Michigan".Mary Wise Smith was living in MI at about the time Mr. Wise may have died.
Parts of the clipping below the article itself refer to Tillman County.One part of the article says he was buried in "city cemetery" but it does not say what city!
The article says he was 35 at the time of his death.Other sources I've found, which seem to indicate he was married to a Lula Ethel Torbett/Torbitt, indicate he may have been born in Michigan around 1883.
Can anyone suggest what newspaper this might have come from?Or which "city cemetery" it might be talking about? I've searched for his grave in the Frederick, OK, cemetery, with no luck.I'm outta ideas!
I've posted this in the all-Oklahoma forum as well...
