Daniel Joseph Wise Sr. was born on August 3, 1888, in Plains, Georgia. His
father, George Calhoun Wise was a Civil War Veteran and his mother was Frannie (Francis) Coogle. He married Corinne Caroline Clohecy on January 29, 1908, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Corinne Caroline Clohecy was born in 1890 in New Orleans,
Louisiana, to her father Mark Clohecy and her mother Emma B. Lawrence.

Daniel was number 6 of 9 siblings. He was the only one to leave Georgia. Corinne was the oldest of four sisters. They had 5 children, the first were twins and they died when they were young. The next son was Gerard (he hated Gerald) and he was called Jerry. His full name
was Gerard Buckley Clohecy Wise he was originally named Daniel.
Somehow when he was very young her sisters Olivia (Viv) and Aimee (Mae)
took him to Atlanta and raised him until he was about 9 or 10 according
to photos I have. They then changed his name!

The next two sons were Hilton and my Grandad Daniel Joseph Wise.
They moved all over Texas and Louisiana. After their sons had grown, Corrine adopted two more boys named Robert and Glenn. Both had mental and physical disabilities. Robert died when he was two. Glenn became an elevator bell hop an at a hospital.
Daniel Jr married Esther Young. Daniel "disappeared" in 1937. Family legend
suggests that someone (I have heard that it was the Sheriff, but do not know for sure) wanted to buy Daniel's land. Daniel refused and
was never seen again. Some in the town thought that Daniel ran away but
Corinne and her sons believed he was murder because he refused to sell
his land.
