   ISAAC WHEELER, who was one of the most prominent early settlers in Cedar Mills
township, is a native of Maine, and was born on June 19, 1817. He remained in his
native State until 1861, when he came to Minnesota and located on a farm in Wright
county. In April, 1863, he came to Meeker county, and selected 160 acres of land on
section 9, Cedar Mills, and the following year moved on to it with his family. They
were the first settlers west of Cedar Mills after the Indian outbreak, and were
there one season entirely without neighbors. At the time they came here the soldiers
were stationed at Pipe Lake, and they helped Mr. Wheeler cut the logs with which ho
erected his cabin. Mr. Wheeler remained on the farm until after his wife’s death in
1876, when he sold his place to his sons, Frank and Newton Wheeler, and since that
time has lived with his children, going back and forth between them.

   After a long and useful career of toil and industry, he is now spending the
evening of his life in a quiet and peaceful way, having to the fullest degree the
confidence and respect of all who know him.
