Classification: Query
Surnames: Wisdom, Hunt
The following is from a researcher in Idaho regarding this person, who was a son of David F. Wisdom and Sara Fina Hunt:
In the 1850 Census District 26, Dallas Co., Missouri, David and Sarah Wisdom are enumerated next door to Peter and Elizabeth Hunt.
Dr. Sylvester Peter Hunt is the son of Peter and Elizabeth.
On April 5, 1884 Weiser City Leader contained the following article: "Mr. T. A. Wisdom and brother, nephews of our townsman, Dr. P. Hunt, arrived here on the 30th of March from Missouri. We understand they intend to make their home in Idaho. Come and see your uncle again boys."

From the 1890 Washington County, Idaho Reconstructed Census published by the Idaho State Historical Society in Boise http://www.idahohistory.net/1890_census.html I found the following: Wisdom, Thomas A. Record type: Land and Property, Deeds, 1890, Vol. 4, page 206

From the Weiser City Leader dated Saturday, November 10, 1883 I found an advertisement in the "New To-day" column (that is where he puts his first-time advertisers): M. D. Wisdom, Dealer in Hides, Wool & Furs. Baker City, OR

In the Weiser Cemetery Index the following are listed:
Wisdom, Emma First Addition (referring to the section of the cemetery), Block 7, Lot 7, Grave #2
Wisdom, Eva First Addition 7 6 6
Wisdom, Frank First Addition 7 7 1 (which means he is next to Emma)
Wisdom, L. C. First Addition 7 7 3 (he would be on the other side of Emma)
Wisdom, Mollie First Addition 7 6 5 (next to Eva)

From the BYU website http://abish.byui.edu/specialcollections/ I found the following deaths:
Wisdom, Frank Lewis, b. Aug 17, 1887, d. Sept. 6, 1952 Weiser, Idaho
Wisdom, Emma Alfretta, b. Sept. 5, 1858, d. Feb. 25, 1948 (that should be the Emma and Frank above)
