John Phillip Wiser
John Philip Wiser was educated in the common schools of his county, later at Hobart Hall Institute in Holland Patent, New York. Early employment included farming (until the age of 20) and clerk in Gouverneur, New York for several years.
In 1856 he married Emily Godard, daughter of Harlow Godard. They had six children together.
In 1857 Wiser moved to Prescott, Ontario approximately 129 miles north of Wiser’s birthplace of Oneida County, New York. Prescott had direct railway connections to Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, and railway links to the Northern Railway in the United States, providing access to the Atlantic Seaboard ports. Prescott also had a port of call for the Canadian Steamers heading east and west long the St. Lawrence River.
