Wheeler, formerly manager of the Rushmore creamery, is an expert butter maker of twenty-four years experience, sixteen of which have been in Nobles County. Mr. Wheeler was born in Knox County, Ohio, June 5, 1851, his parents being Richard C. Wheeler and Deborah (Watkins) Wheeler, both deceased. When George was four years old the family moved to Iowa, and there he spent the greater part of his life. He was raised in Grundy County, where he lived for twenty years. During these years he was securing an education and working on his father's farm. When twenty-four years of age he went to Parkersburg, Butler County, and for four years was employed in a livery barn. We next find him at Aplington, where for one year he was conducting a confectionery store. He then rented a farm in Butler County, near Sherlock, and for two years was a farmer. The next year was spent in the management of a livery barn at New Hartford, and the year following he was engaged in threshing and shelling corn near Holland, in Grundy County. He then went to Reinbeck and operated a creamery one yar for Sperry & Carrington Co., of Grundy Center. He next went to Wellsburg, Grundy County, and engaged in the creamery business for himself, where he was located nearly four years. The next two and one-half years were passed at Clarion, Wright County, in the same business. In 1892 Mr. Wheeler came to Nobles County and for two years ran the Worthington creamery. He then engaged in the business at Round Lake but remained there only about six months. During the next two years he worked out at Worthington, and then operated the Worthington creamery one year. In January 1904, he moved to Rushmore, took part in the organization of a cooperative creamery, and became the manager. This was the first successful creamery operated in that village, and Mr. Wheeler met with success in the business. Early in 1908 he moved to Melvin, Iowa, where he is now operating a creamery. Mr. Wheeler was married at Sibley, Iowa, in October 1895, to Julia M. Monson. All Illustrated History of Nobles County Minnesota By Arthur P.
