SOLOMON WISEMAN, Grazier, Cliffdale, was born in 1835 at Granbulang, near Singleton, and served his apprenticeship to the wool broking business. He subsequently turned his attention to pastoral pursuits, which he followed for some time, being one of the pioneers of the Warrego district, Queensland, where he resided for a number of years. Meeting with reverses, owing to bad seasons, he relinquished squatting and followed mining with varying successes in North Queensland for ten years, and afterwards for one year, at Mount Brown. At the end of that time he entered the Government service as rabbit inspector, and afterwards purchased a fourteenth share in the Broken Hill mine, a portion of which he still retains. In 1877 he became proprietor of Cliffdale Station, where he still resides. Mr. John Wiseman-our subject s father-was born in Sydney in 1809, and was one of the pioneers of the Hunter district, where he died in 1848. Mr. Solomon Wiseman-our subject s grandfather-came to the colony in 1801 from Kent, England, where he was born, and settled at Wisemans Ferry, which still bears his name. The subject of this sketch is the great-grandson of the late Mr. Richard Howe, one of the first colonists

Solomon Wiseman died on 28th November 1838 aged61 and was buried beside his first wife (nee of Jane Middleton) in his own grounds adjoining his residence on the southern side; but after the erection of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in 1841 the bodies were disinterred and reburied in a vault under the floor of that church where they rested for many years. The church at last fell into decay however so for many years the coffins like the church were subjected to sacriligious vandalism. When the cemetery 2 miles down the river was made, Solomon Wiseman's bachelor grandson John Wiseman of Granbalang near Singleton removed the remains to the new cemetery and a marble headstone records the dates of their deaths. Mrs. Jane Wiseman nee Middleton died at the early age of 45 years on 20th July 1821.
