My grandmother, Iola Lamar Wise Stetson, who was born in Macon in 1895, was the daughter of Basil Augustus Wise Jr and the grand-daughter of Basil and Louise Clisby Wise Kennedy. She also had a first cousin named Louise Clisby and spent much of her youth visiting her grandmother's family in Medford, Mass.
One of the two Louise Clisbys married Henry Flagler.
Iola moved to NY with her husband, Eugene Stetson, a Macon banker, in 1916 where he husband became President of Guaranty Trust Co. took Coca Cola public. I remember many stories about 'cousin Louise' and about the gas lamps in the Clisby Medford home which were too often blown out rather than turned down.
Iola Wise Stetson in 1978. She had five children the last of whom died in 2002. My grandchildren are Louise Clisby Wise Kennedy's great great great great grandchildren.
