Find A Grave Memorial# 23538278 ----- Progressive Men of Western Colorado Published 1905, A.W. Bowen & Co., Chicago, Ill. R.C. Wise The progressive and enterprising citizen of Mesa county, Colorado, to whom this brief review is dedicated, and who lives on a good farm which he has brought to a high state of cultivation and enriched with comfortable buildings, located twelve miles east of Grand Junction, is a native of Ohio, born at Ashtabula in 1846, and the son of Cornelius and Betsy (Chatfield) Wise. The father was a native of Pennsylvania and a carpenter by trade, and lived a life of useful industry, portions of which were passed in his native state, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri. He died in the last named state in 1872, at the age of sixty-four. The mother, a native of Connecticut, died in 1868, at the age of forty-eight. Their son, R.C. Wise, passed his boyhood in Ohio and Illinois to the age of thirteen. In 1859 he accompanied his parents and the rest of the family to Missouri, where he remained until 1862, when he enlisted in Company D, Twelfth Missouri Infantry, in defense of the Union, and in that regiment he served to the close of the war. He then went to California and for a number of years was employed in driving stage in that state. Returning to Nebraska, he conducted a butchering business and meat market for seven years, then moved to Leadville when the gold excitement was at its height over that place. Some little time later he left there and took up his residence in Grand valley on the ranch which has since then been his home. During the Spanish-American war he enlisted for the Philippines campaign in Company L, First Colorado Volunteers, for a term of two years, and at the end of his term returned to his old Mesa county residence.
