Notes
a. Note:   "Hal" played on the Carthage High School Football team. He attended the Un iversity of Pennsylvania with the help of his Uncle George Wise of Washing ton D.C.. Hal studied journalism and had part time work on the city pape r. Hal was a member of the Class of 1899, but he left his junior year. Hal was a feature writer for the St. Louis Post Dispatch. One story w as an interview in Indian Territory with a rebel Indian Chief (Wyckliff) w anted by white law, another was about a lynching in Pierce City, Missouri. Hal returned to Jasper County, Missouri and bought the Webb City Sentin el (located on the east side of Webb Street and Broadway). His partner w as either Walter or James Stichney? (which ever one was the uncle). When t he uncle moved to Kansas City (where he became a big shot in one of the da ily papers), the nephew took over. Later Hal bought him out. The Sentin el later moved to 13 S. Main.
  The Marie Davey's Letters
  The following are transcribed from a collection of letters written to H al Wise by Marie Davey's (circa 1899). The letters were kept in book form at, on the cover was a watercolor drawing of some flowers and the followi ng prose:
  "There's rosemary; - that's for remembrance -- pray you love, - remember ---- and there are pansies; Thats for thoughts"
  Jan. 23rd -'99 M.I.D. Place - My 'Rainbow' Room Time - 7:30 P.M. Jan. 26th '99
  My dearest Hal , - With my room bright with gas and desk light, and warm with the ruddy gl ow from the open fire - (under which, snugly covered with hot ashes are ba king several little potatoes for a "treat" when this is written) - and t he whole evening stretching calm and deliciously quiet before me in whi ch to write all the many things I have in my mind, to you - with nothi ng to disturb me save only the soft sputter and occasional crack' of the c oal fire - or the far-off rumble of some train - I feel I have nothing mo re which I could wish, unless it might be you, in bodily form - but that c ould not be - here - and so with your letter spread out before me, I rev el in mental, and spiritual as well as physical luxury and happiness.
  How can I begin to tell you how supremely happy your letter made me, comi ng this afternoon! I had been downtown for Mamma (the first time I have l eft the house for eight days) and was waiting for her to decide about a bo nnet before returning it when the postman came. I hardly dared hope it w as a letter from you - and sure enough it was .
  I do not think I ever was quite so happy as upon reading it. I sat do wn in the hall with my hat and coat on - having loosened my collar at t he throat, where for some reason it seemed to have grown very tight - a nd read 'til my eyes grew misty with tears of pure joy, - and then - wh en I had read every word of it, - I just closed my eyes and sighed a de ep long sigh ......... and then I called Eva (having first hid it careful ly away) and downtown we went, simply, sailing, while the cold wind fro ze my nose and ears and fingers in those wretched white kid gloves - 't il they refused to unclasp from the tight grasp I had on the reins, and ga ve me exquisite agony - but I only laughed aloud. I wonder if Prof. Mac D onald could "measure pain" under such circumstances ?
