Omie Wise or Naomi Wise (1789β1808) was an Americanmurder victim, who is remembered by a popular murder ballad about her death.
Song
Omie Wise's death became the subject of a traditional American ballad. (Roud 447) One version opens:
In accordance with the broadside ballad tradition, lyrics to the original version of the song were written shortly after the murder itself; a 19th-century version of the ballad text has recently been discovered. The first recorded version of the song was performed by G. B. Grayson, who recorded the song in 1927 in Atlanta, Georgia. The first person to record the song under the title "Naomi Wise" was Vernon Dalhart, who did so on November 24, 1925.
The song is thematically related to other American murder ballads such as "Banks of the Ohio" and "The Knoxville Girl". Each of these songs relates the tale of a woman murdered by her lover, who then disposed of her body in a river.
The song has been performed by Doc Watson, who learned the song from his mother. Watson relates that "Naomi Wise, a little orphan girl, was being brought up by Squire Adams, a gent who had a pretty good name in the community as a morally decent human being. Omie, however, was seeing a ne'er-do-well named John Lewis, who never meant anything about anything serious, except some of his meanness. John Lewis courted the girl, seemingly until she became pregnant, and he decided that he'd get rid of her in some secret sort of way. He persuaded her to skip off with him and get married, then pushed her into the water and drowned her. Everyone knew that he had been mean to Omie, and when the body was taken out of the water, there was evidence that she had been beaten quite a lot."
William John "Bill" Evans (pronunciation: /ΛΙvΙns/, August 16, 1929Β β September 15, 1980) was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly worked in a trio setting. Evans' use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continue to influence jazz pianists today.
In late 1959, Evans left the Miles Davis band and began his career as a leader with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, a group now regarded as a seminal modern jazz trio. In 1961, ten days after recording the highly acclaimed Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby, LaFaro died in a car accident. After months of seclusion, Evans re-emerged with a new trio, featuring bassist Chuck Israels.

WISE 0359β5401 was discovered in 2012 by J. Davy Kirkpatrick and colleagues from data collected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) in the infrared at a wavelength of 40Β cm (16Β in), whose mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. In 2012 Kirkpatrick et al. published a paper in The Astrophysical Journal, where they presented discovery of seven new found by WISE brown dwarfs of spectral type Y, among which also was WISE 0359β5401.
Distance
The trigonometric parallax of WISE 0359β5401 is 6999145000000000000β 0.145Β±0.039arcsec, corresponding to a direct inversion distance of 7017212911753121236β 6.9+2.5 β1.5Β pc, or 7017212866435633068β 22.5+8.3 β4.8Β ly.

Omie Wise or Naomi Wise (1789β1808) was an Americanmurder victim, who is remembered by a popular murder ballad about her death.

In accordance with the broadside ballad tradition, lyrics to the original version of the song were written shortly after the murder itself; a 19th-century version of the ballad text has recently been discovered.

The song is thematically related to other American murder ballads such as "Banks of the Ohio" and "The Knoxville Girl". Each of these songs relates the tale of a woman murdered by her lover, who then disposed of her body in a river.
The song has been performed by Doc Watson, who learned the song from his mother. Watson relates that "Naomi Wise, a little orphan girl, was being brought up by Squire Adams, a gent who had a pretty good name in the community as a morally decent human being. Omie, however, was seeing a ne'er-do-well named John Lewis, who never meant anything about anything serious, except some of his meanness.

He persuaded her to skip off with him and get married, then pushed her into the water and drowned her. Everyone knew that he had been mean to Omie, and when the body was taken out of the water, there was evidence that she had been beaten quite a lot."
Pentangle "Omie Wise" Oh, listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies, How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise. He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs. He promised her money and other fine things. And, fool-like she met him at Adams's Springs. But no money he brought her nor other fine things. "Go with me, little Omie, and away we will go. We'll go and get married and no one will know." She jumped up behind him and away they did go, But down to the river where deep waters flow. "John Lewis, John Lewis, want you tell to me your mind? Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?" "Little Omie, little Omie, I'll tell to you my mind. My mind is to drown you and leave you behind." "Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life, I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife." He hugged her and kissed her and turned her around, Then pushed her in deep waters where he knew that she would drown. Then he got on his pony and away he did ride, As the screams of little Omie went down by his side. T'was on a Thursday morning, the rain was pouring down, When the people searched for Omie but she could not be found. Then two boys went a-fishin' one fine summer day, And saw little Omie's body go floating away. They threw their net around her and drew her to the bank. Her clothes all wet and muddy, they laid her on a plank. And they call for John Lewis to come to that place -- And brought her out before him so that he can see her face. He made no confession but they carried him to jail,
