>From Words to the Wise Dec 1994 MORE SUMMER ROAMINGS... This time in the cemetery There was no staying at home for me this summer. Two weeks after returning from the OK, Kansas, Colo, New Mexico and Texas trip my husband and I left for a trip across the South and up the East Coast to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This was not a genealogy trip, but I am interested in cemeteries, so.. while visiting my brother in Richmond we toured the Hollywood Cemetery where the bodies of Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler, 6 Virginia Governors, and Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, are buried. One of the Virgina governors is Henry A. Wise of Accomack County, Virginia. I understand this is not one of our Wise',s but if any of you are researching this line you may want to know about this cemetery. There are in addition to Henry A. Wise (b Dec 3, 1806, d Sept 12, 1876) in this cemetery are buried: wife of Henry A., Ann Elizabeth Wise, daughter of O. Jennings, D. D. b 1808, d 1857; Capt. George Douglas Wise (b 1831 d 1864), son of John & Harriet Wise; D. Jennings Wise 1831-1862; Rev. Henry Wise 31-1869 and wife Harriet 44-1893, with three children ages 10 months, 16 months, and 10 months. There is a large confederate monument here and many, many confederate and union dead, some known, some unknown. It is a very moving cemetery, high on the bluffs of the beautiful James River. Life is sacred, no matter what side the soldier fought on and it is a great memorial to their memories.
