Author: History of Grundy County, 1914

Wheeler, Vernon, a farmer of Mazon Township, was born July 23, 1886, a son of 
George Wheeler of the same township. He is engaged in farming 260 acres of 
valuable land in Mazon Township, which he devotes, in large part, to corn and 
oats, and he feeds and sells cattle and hogs, and specializes on Belgian 
horses. Having received more than ordinary educational advantages, as he not 
only attended the local schools, and a high school course, but went to the 
University of Illinois for a year to study agriculture, he is well fitted for 
his work. Mr. Wheeler married Margaret Jennie Winter, born in Goose Lake 
Township, and they have had two children: Russell E., and Kenneth. Mrs. 
Wheeler belongs to the Baptist Church. In politics Mr. Wheeler is a 
Republican, while fraternally he affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of America 
at Mazon. His family is one of the oldest in Grundy County, and his father has 
been associated with the development of Mazon Township, while his mother is 
noted for her intellectual attainments and delightful personality. The old 
Wheeler Cemetery was opened for the use of the Wheeler family, and the name is 
otherwise associated with the history of this part of Grundy County.
