The Intelligencer [Edwardsville IL] December 30, 1891
Col. Jacob Wheeler, much of a figure in republican political circles of the 
state, dropped dead from heart disease, at his home at Springfield, Christmas 
night. He was a member of the state board of equalization, a member of the 
legislature, United States marshal, and subsequently revenue collector and was 
recently supervisor of the census of the Springfield district. He is credited 
with engineering the still hunt in the 34th district in 1885, which resulted 
in the election of a republican to the legislature, thereby breaking the 
deadlock and electing John A. Logan to the United States senate.
