Naomi (Omie) Wise was an orphan girl. She fell in love with a young gentleman named Johnathan Lewis. Naomi found out she was  pregnant.  When she told Lewis, he told her to meet him that  night so they could run away and get married. Her beaten, bruised body was found  in Deep River the next morning.
