... Oliver Harper and William Henry Wiley were partners in a sawmill operation on a creek east of Oxford where they owned property on what was called "Woodson's Ridge." They sold most of their lumber in Oxford where they hauled it in wagons pulled by oxen because the roads would get so muddy they would be impassable at times.
From this line of Wiley have come some of the outstanding leaders in Lafayette County as city officials, merchants, postal employees, and church leaders. They helped to develop Lafayette County in to one of the leading cultural counties in Mississippi.
