In 1841 they removed to Howard County where Daniel Wisely was engaged in farming until his death, in 1868. L. A. served an apprenticeship in the office of the Missouri Democrat, at Fayette, Mo., and worked at the printing business for eight years, three years of the time in St. Louis.

After completing his studies he bought out the Platte Argus, at Weston, publishing that paper, in connection with his brother, for three years. He studied medicine under the instruction of Dr. Bowers, of Weston, and took lectures at the University of Virginia, in 1857, graduating in Philadelphia from the Jefferson Medical College, in 1859.
