Belding Banner-News – Wednesday, 24 July 1918

Wm. Wheeler was born Sept. 1, 1856 at the Wheeler farm home at Chadwick where 
his parents came as early pioneers from Washtenaw County in the early 40’s.  
He was one of nine children, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood but 
only three survive him, Mrs. Ottie Fox of Belding, Mrs. Mary Brothers of 
Howard City and Fred Wheeler of Chadwick.

He taught school several years and in 1877 bought the farm which was still his 
home at the time of his death.  He was married Sarah Teaker, Dec. 24, 1878.  
Five children were born to this union, two dying in infancy, and Luia died at 
the age of 24, Feb. 21, 1890.  His wife departed this life leaving him with 
three small children.

He was married again May 31, 1891 to Mrs. Rosena Marshall, who has been a good 
and faithful wife until his death, July 5, at Belding, where they had gone so 
he could have special treatment for valvular heart trouble with which he had 
been afflicted for some time.

He leaves besides his widow and two daughters, Mrs. Edna McVicar of Bath and 
Mrs. Grace Shekell of Ionia, a stepson, Ermond Marshall and five grandchildren 
and many other relatives and friends who will mourn, the loss of a good honest 
man gone from their midst.
