She received her education in a young ladies’ seminary in Boston, Mass. She came to Ionia, Mich., in 1872 and was married to Marcellus A. Wheeler of Smyrna in 1873. Since the death of her husband, in 1894, she has made her home with Mrs. Effie Itzenhauser of Lakeview. She died on Saturday, Nov. 12, 1904 aged 81 years. She was a loving wife and a kind neighbor and leaves many friends to mourn her loss.
