This appeared in the Stroudsburg Times newspaper on January 23, 1896 under the heading "Death of a Former Resident" - I know it was in column 3 but I'm not sure if it was the front page or an inside page (I spotted it while browsing microfilm but the printer didn't work)...
"Reuben Weiss died recently at Portland...leaving 28 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren...resided 60 years in Poplar Valley this county (Monroe, Pa.). In 1830 he married Miss Susan Moyer who died in August 1881.
Sons are listed as John, William, Jacob M., and Lewis; daughters Mrs. S. A. Purday, Mrs. Levi Drake and Mrs. Henry Edinger and a daughter living in Newark."

Biographical sketch: GEORGE H. WISE: From an early period in the develop ment of the Lehigh Valley, ancestors of George H. Wise, of Bangor, PA ha ve been identified with the development of that section, particularly acti ve in the lumber business. The first representative of the family in Nort hampton county was John Weiss, who moved from Philadelphia, PA, at an ear ly date, the German ancestor, Weiss, now anglicised as Wise, there settli ng upon his first coming. John Weiss owned a small farm between Portla nd and the Delaware Water Gap, the exact location being known as Slatefor d. In addition to cultivating his farm, he engaged in boaring, and rafti ng lumber on the Delaware River. He there lived a quiet, peaceful life, a nd had been greatly respected in his community. He married a Miss LeBa r, of French parentage, and they were the parents of a large family, inclu ding sons: Charles, Reuben, Jesse, David, Micajah, and George H., w ho is the grandfather of George H.

He made Portland his headquart ers, and there built a large saw mill and converted into lumber the logs c ut in the northern part of the State and in New York, which were raft ed to his mill on the waters of the Delaware. After the plentiful supp ly of timber began to diminish, Mr. Wise engaged in the lime business, est ablishing kilns at Portland, and becoming a large dealer. He prosper ed in both enterprises, and was one ofthe influential and substantial m en of his town. He took active part in public affairs, and for a term w as burgess of Portland.

Previou sly in 1884 three of these brothers Reuben, Joseph and Hiram had open ed a lumber yard in Bangor PA under the firm name Wise Brothers. That bus iness in 1886 had been acquired by Clark C Wise who conducted it alone un til 1890 adding to the lumber yard a planing mill After the fire which p ut him temporarily out of business, Frank S. Wise joined his brother Cla rk C in Bangor and 1891 was admitted to a partnership in the business bo th lumber yard and planing mill. They jointly conducted the business in B angor until 1901 when Frank S. purchased his brothers interest and beca me sole owner. The planing mill had been destroyed by fire the previous y ear causing a severe loss and in 1902 Mr. Wise replaced this loss with a m odern planing mill equipped with the newest and best working machiner y. He still continues a successful lumber and planing business and in add ition to the Bangor Plant has lumber interests in Tioga Co PA. and in We st Virginia. His entire life from boyhood has been given to the lumber bu siness and while he has perhaps met with more than his due share of misfor tune from the fire (friend) not only calm cool judgement was necessary b ut courage and fortitude of the highest order were required in such tim es of financial stress and storm.

Levi Drake
He is one of the leading business men of Stroudsburg Monroe County, a nd no work which aims to present an account of the chief actors in the var ious activities of that thriving little city would be complete without men tion of his name.
The Drake family originated in England, but as no definite records are kno wn to exist the information concerning early generations depends upon trad ition only. Levi Drake, the grandfather of our subject was born probab ly in the United States, and for many years he was a farmer in Smithfie ld Township, Northampton (now Monroe) County. He married Elenor Van Cam p, and left a family of eleven children. Of the seven sons, Daniel di ed at the age of eighty- seven; Joseph W., at age eighty-three; Wayn e, at sixty-five; John, at sixty-six; Silas, at the age of seventy-six; Jo hn, at sixty-six; Alfred, at eighty-three; and James is now 1899 age seven ty-eight years. There were four daughters: Mary, Mrs. John Lazerds; Sara h, Mrs. Melchoir Dreher; Jane, Mrs. Ephraim Lockard; and Hannah, who marri ed and died in early womanhood.
Joseph W. Drake, the father of our subject, was born August 24 1794 in wh at is now Smithfield township Monroe County, and grew to manhood amid t he surroundings of pioneer life, His meager education was acquired main ly by private study, bur his innate ability was seen in his successful bus iness career, in which he accumulated a handsome competence. In his you th he learned the millwright’s trade, which he followed for fifteen year s, and later he became interested in farming in Stroud Township, Monroe Co unty, where his death occurred in March 1877. He was an excellent citize n, and was active in religious work as a member of the Baptist Church, Phy sically he was hardy and robust, weighing about 160 pounds, and he and h is wife, who was medium size, were both blondes. He was married in 182 4, to Mary Labar, generally known as Polly, who was born August 6, 180 6, in Northampton County, and died January 24, 1886. They had three childr en: Amos, born July 17 1828, who died at the age of fifty-seven; Levi, o ur subject; Louis, who resides in Stroud Township, on the old homestead.
Levi Drake was born October 14, 1833, in Stroud Township, Monroe County, a nd was educated in the country schools of the day. His opportunities we re limited, but he made most of them, and by his own ingenuity and indust ry developed a keen and accurate insight into business methods. For a numb er of years he was engaged in farming and general business operations, b ut in 1885, he retired and took up his residence in Stroudsburg, owning, b esides his home there, a fine farm. His time in now occupied chiefly wi th the management of his investments and loaning of money, and while his m anner is quiet and unostentatious, any good judge of character will recogn ize in him the qualities of the typical financier; he has been a direct or in the Stroudsburg National Bank for ten years. In politics he is a Rep ublican, and he and his family are identified with the Presbyterian Churc h, of which he is a leading member. During the Civil war Mr. Drake was dra fted, but being unable to leave his business he sent a substitute.
On September 10, 1859, Mr. Drake married Catherine Weiss, a native of Smit hfield, Monroe County, whose valuable counsel and assistance were potent f actors in his success, as he proudly acknowledges she assisted him Nob ly in accumulating the competence which he now enjoys. Mrs. Drake passed a way December 2, 1898, deeply mourned by her many friends. She too was a me mber of and active worker in the Presbyterian Church. Their only son, Stew art, born August 6, 1860, is a farmer in Stroud Township, Monroe Count y. He married Alice Swartwood, daughter of Philip Swartwood, of the same t ownship, and they have two children; Jennie C. and Garfield.
The former, who now resides with her grandfather, has received an excelle nt education in the public schools and the State Normal School at Stroudsb urg.
The Weiss family is of French origin, and Mrs. Drake’s paternal grandfathe r, John Weiss, came from France to settle in Northampton County. Her fath er the late Reuben Weiss was born in 1807, at Bethel, and died in 189 6. He married Susan Myers, daughter of John Myers, a mason by trade who di ed in Monroe County, and ten children born to the union: Mary, who marri ed (1st) Robert Demont, and (2nd) Frank Bush, of Newark NJ.; Catherine, Mr s. Drake; John, resident of Northampton County; William, who resides in Po rtland, Northampton County; Louisa, who died at the age of eleven; Enos, w ho died in childhood; Elizabeth, wife of S. Purdy; Jacob, a resident of Ph iladelphia; Louis, who resides in Scranton; and Ida, wife of H. Edinger.

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.
