Frank S. Wise, son of George H. and Susan (Yetter) Wise, was born in Port land. February 3, 1862, and there attended the public schools. When scho ol years were over he at once became associated with his father in the lum ber business, beginning in the saw mill at Portland. He remained in Portl and with his father until 1884, then moved to Bangor, where he soon afterw ard in connection with his brother Clark and Joseph formed a parthership a nd invested in a 3,000 acre tract of timberland located in Clearfield Co P A; a devestating forest fire swept their tract causing a severe loss to t he brothers which they estimated at $40,000. Previously in 1884 thr ee of these brothers Reuben, Joseph and Hiram had opened a lumber ya rd in Bangor PA under the firm name Wise Brothers. That business in 18 86 had been acquired by Clark C Wise who conducted it alone until 1890 ad ding to the lumber yard a planing mill After the fire which put him tempo rarily out of business, Frank S. Wise joined his brother Clark C in Bang or and 1891 was admitted to a partnership in the business both lumber ya rd and planing mill. They jointly conducted the business in Bangor unt il 1901 when Frank S. purchased his brothers interest and became sole owne r. The planing mill had been destroyed by fire the previous year causi ng a severe loss and in 1902 Mr. Wise replaced this loss with a modern pla ning mill equipped with the newest and best working machinery. He still c ontinues a successful lumber and planing business and in addition to the B angor Plant has lumber interests in Tioga Co PA. and in West Virginia. H is entire life from boyhood has been given to the lumber business and whi le he has perhaps met with more than his due share of misfortune from t he fire (friend) not only calm cool judgement was necessary but courage a nd fortitude of the highest order were required in such times of financi al stress and storm. His trials of his metal but developed that strong re liant businessman and he won substantial success. Frank S. Wise marri ed in 1881 Clara A.
