M. N. Wisewell
Moses N. Wisewell (1827-1888) was born in Brandon, Vermont, and died in
New York City. During the Civil War, he commanded the 28th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry
until he was badly wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg. He served out the remainder
of the war in the Veteran Reserve Corps until he resigned in October 1865. In 1869, he
was nominated and confirmed as a brevet brigadier general for his service at the Battle
of Fredericksburg. After the war, Wisewell worked as a civil engineer in New York City.
In 1884, he became interested in Christian Science, actively recruiting students to
attend the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, but his involvement with the Christian
Science movement seems to have been limited to a few months. There is no record of
Wisewell studying with Mary Baker Eddy or uniting with the Church of Christ
(Scientist).
