JOSHUA DANIEL WISE, SR., a well known citizen of Hagerstown, died yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jacob Bankard, 519 West Washington Street, from paralysis, aged 78 years, 1 month and 24 days. He was first stricken about four years ago and the second stroke occurred two years later. The third and fatal stroke he received last Friday and he was unconscious from that time until his death.
Mr. Wise was a native of Jefferson, Frederick County, Md., but moved to this city when quite young.
He had been a blacksmith all his life and conducted shops in various parts of the city. For a number of years he was engaged in the Baldwin alley. He also in early life had a shop of the hill, now Summit Avenue, when it was a rock bed.
Twenty-two years ago he served one term in City Council, having been elected by the Republicans of Ward 5. He was widely known throughout the county for his fair dealings. He was a charter member of the Western Enterprise Fire Company and the last surviving one. He was a member of Washington Square M.E. Church.
Surviving are his wife, who was a Miss Flynn, and these children: Mrs. L.W. Downin, Baltimore; O.W., Williamsport; Mrs. Viola Ardinger, Roanoke; John, Mrs. Jacob Bankard, Joshua, Jr.; and Mrs. Howard R.
