  FRANK E. WHEELER. The subject of this sketch, a resident of section 9, is one of
the leading citizens of Cedar Mills township, and is a son of Isaac Wheeler, who is
mentioned above. He is a native of Garland, Maine, and was born on the 1st of
January, 1851. His early life was spent in his native State, and in 1861 he came
West with his father’s family, and they settled in Wright county, Minnesota, as has
been stated. In 1863 they settled in Meeker county, and Frank remained at home until
the death of his mother in 1876, when the family was broken up and scattered. After
this Frank taught school in this county and also in Wabash county, Indiana,
following this profession for three years. In April, 1881, he settled upon the old
homestead, and this has since been his home. He has a valuable farm of 180 acres,
eighty of which are already under cultivation, and all of it is in tillable
condition. He has made substantial improvements on the place and it is conveniently
arranged. He devotes his time and energies to general farming and stock raising, and
is rated as one of the most successful and enterprising agriculturists in the
township. He has taken an active and prominent part in township and educational
affairs of late years, and has held various local offices, including those of
supervisor, school clerk and others. He has been a member of the Presbyterian Church
for fifteen years.

Ellsworth township, and they are the parents of four children, as follows: Mellen
E., Ethel E., Ruth C. and Allen IK. Mrs. Wheeler was born at Greenfield, Wis., July
