The Ypsilanti Commercial
Saturday, 10 July, 1869

         Our community will sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. WISE,
       in the sudden bereavement of their only son. FRANK was
       an active boy and was getting to be a fine business
       young man. He was killed on the 3d.
                         Hillsdale, July 3d, 1869
                         
         A sad accident occurred here last evening by the pre-
       mature discharge of a piece of fireworks called a "mine,"
       by which FRANK WISE, a young man about twenty years of
       age, was fatally injured. Both his eyes were blown out
       and his face terribly disfigured, and he died about noon
       to-day. He came here only a few weeks since, from Ypsi-
       lanti, and was the son of D. A. WISE, a miller, who
       purchased the Pixley Mills. He was taken to Brewer and
       Johnson's office, where he died in 15 minutes. He was
       buried Monday afternoon, all the business houses in the
       city being closed during the funeral at the request of
       the Mayor.
