[ance] Wheeler was born November 3, 1835, in the state of Indiana, died in Siam, Iowa, January 1, 1904, aged 68 years, 1 month and 28 days. He moved to Des Moines, Iowa, when he was a small boy. He came to Maryville, Missouri, when he was about 23 years of age. He was married to Harriet Ellen Torrance December 24, 1863. They were married forty years and one week. To this union was born eight children, five boys and three girls. The living children are John [Allen] and Fred, Bella, wife of Jacob Robbins, and Lizzie, wife of Ewing Bradley. Brother and Sister Wheeler came to Taylor County in 1867, and lived here about one year. They went to Swede Point, north of Des Moines, where they lived one year and came back to Siam and lived here until 1881, when they went to Burlington Junction. In 1887 they went to Blanchard, where they lived for six years. They went from there to Hopkins. They came back to Siam in 1894, where they have lived for nearly ten years. Bro. Wheeler united with the Christian church in 1885, while living at Burlington Junction. Bro. Gresham, who now preaches in Missouri, baptized him. Besides his family, he also leaves three brothers and three sisters. Bro. Wheeler was a man who greatly loved his home and his children. He was a faithful and consistent Christian. He loved Christ and the church and often talked of ministers he heard preach years ago, and of sermons he heard in his earlier days. He was greatly respected in this community. It was known far and wide that he never spoke a harsh word of anyone and all in the community spoke well of him. While he was not a strong man physically and not in the best of health, his death was sudden and unexpected. His death [was] a shock to the whole community. A brave soldier of the cross of Christ has fallen and his spirit has returned to God. If his family live faithful to Christ and the church they will meet him in the glorious morning of eternity. He leaves to mourn his loss a faithful wife, two sons, two daughters, three brothers and three sisters. May the love of God reign with all who are left that they may meet him in heaven. Funeral services were held Sunday, January 3, 1904, at the Siam Christian church, conducted by the Elder M. S. Jameson. A large concourse followed him to his last resting place. Interment in Siam cemetery.
