Moses Wise was a boy when he came to Clearfield County, where he spent the remainder of his life. He cleared a farm of almost 100’ acres and died there. On June 22, 1847, he married Elmira Bloom, a daughter of Abraham Bloom. Her death occurred in 1870. To this marriage nine children were born, six sons and three daughters.
Moses Wise, on leaving home, purchased the farm formerly owned by Samuel Thomas, who built the old log house still standing, in 1855. Later he sold to David Arnold, from whom Moses Wise Iwught. The latter was a well known lumberman.
