While there is no existing marker for Lorenzo at the Masonic Cemetery, it is nonetheless very likely that he is buried there with his other family members.

Lorenzo Demus Wiseman -- (the second name being a contraction of "Nicodemus," he having been named for his uncle, Dr. Nicodemus Hufford,) oldest son of Lorenzo Dow Wiseman and Agnes (Hufford) Wiseman. He went with his father's family to Hancock, County, Ohio in early childhood and accompanied the family to Indiana in 1867.

His education was acquired in the common schools of his native state and the schools of Findlay, Ohio and Plymouth, Indiana. He taught in the public schools of both states and was, for a time, clerk in a general store, owned by Dr. G.A. Durr, at Marmont, (now Culver,) Indiana.

He married Frances Wilhelm on September 28, 1871 in Marshall County, Indiana. and together they had one child, Rosa Elsinore Wiseman. The widow, Frances, then married Elmer Dunham, September 9, 1876.

He was engaged in teaching school when his health failed in the winter of 1872-73 and went to Kansas the following spring hoping that the change would enable him to recuperate. A few months' residence there failed to bring about the hoped for result and in the latter part of 1873 he returned with his little family to his father's home in Marmont, where he died January 20, 1874.

His early death at a time when life is full of hope and ambition was mourned by a large circle of friends. He was a noble character and through it is more than thirty-six years since he was taken from us the writer cannot repress a sigh when memory reverts to his premature demise.
