Shelbyville Democrat - Thursday - 4 Feb 1909 
Obituary of Amanda Green Wheat

Shelbyville Democrat - Thursday - 4 Feb 1909 - Aged Mother Dies - Many 
neighbors, friends and relatives attend funeral services of Mrs. Amanda 
Wheat.  Braving the awful storm that raged all day Friday, many attended the 
last sad rites in memory of Mrs. Amanda Wheat, at Union church at 11 o’clock 
Friday morning.  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Jasper L. 
Douthit.  She united with the Methodist church about 15 years ago and lived a 
consistent and faithful member till released from earthly life.  The deceased 
was a daughter of Felix and Millie Green and was born in Shelby County, 
Illinois, February 16, 1827, being at the time of her death nearly 82 years 
old.  She was united in marriage to Levi Wheat about 62 years ago.  Her 
husband died about 40 years ago.  To them were born ten children, 5 boys and 5 
girls all who survive, namely:  Allen Wheat of Missouri, John Wheat of 
Decatur, Ill., William Henry of Clarksburg, Levi who resided with his mother 
at home; Mrs. Nancy Shuff of Clarksburg, Mrs. Cassie Allen of Hominy, Okla. 
and Mrs. Millie Patrick and Mrs. Anna Crawford of Decatur, and Mrs. Laurel 
Williams of near Clarksburg.  Besides her sons and daughters she leaves four 
brothers, 35 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.  “A precious one 
from us has gone; A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home; 
Which can never be filled.  God, in his wisdom has recalled, the boon his love 
had given; And thought the body moulders here, The soul is safe in Heaven.”
