Enos Wheeler, a veteran of the Civil War, well known and highly respected citizen of Hardin County, passed away Thanksgiving Day at 3:45 p.m. at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Hattie Spencer, 845 South Main Street following an illness of complications. Mr. Wheeler was born in Noble County, Ohio on August 28, 1842 and at the time of his death had reached the age of 88 years, two months, and 29 days. The deceased is a retired farmer and for many years had been successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits, having a well improved farm in Lynn township. His passing has occasioned deepest sorrow in the hearts of his many friends who although they knew of his illness were unaware that death was so near. Gleaning his early education in the district schools of Noble township, Enos Wheeler, was initiated as early as practicable in the mysteries of farming. He proved a faithful worker, and remained on the parental homestead until after the breaking out of the Civil War. A certificate of record compiled by M. Wallingford, historian of the Soldiers and Sailors Historical and Benevolent Society certifies that Mr. Wheeler enlisted, August 9, 1862, from Noble County, Ohio, to serve for a three years or during the war, and that he was mustered into service September 10, 1862 at camp Marietta, Ohio, as private in Company E, Ninety-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under Captain Erwin G. Dudley, and Colonel Douglas Putnam, Jr. On October 7, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Point Pleasant, becoming a part of Gilbert's Brigade Lightburn's Division, but was afterwards assigned to General George Crook's Brigade, Barid's Division, Fourteenth Corps, Army of the Cumberland. With is comrades Mr. Wheeler took part in various engagements. Including those at Pocataligo Creek, Virginia Hoover's Gap; Tennessee; Lane Chapel, Georgia Tullahoma, Tennessee; Chickamauga; Chattanooga; Brown's Ferry; Lookout Mountain; Mission Ridge; and in a number of minor engagements and skirmished. At the battle of Mission Ridge, November 25, 1863, the said Enos Wheeler so reads the certificate, was wounded in the left shoulder by gunshot, and taken to the hospital at Nashville, where he remained two months. Then receiving a furlough, he remained at home of disability from wounds, he was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps. he received his honorable discharge at Nashville, Tennessee, August 5, 1865, by reason of the close of the war. Soon after his marriage Mr. Wheeler began farming in Noble County remaining there until 1883, when he disposed of his interest in that part of the state, and came to Hardin County. Buying fifty acres of heavily wooded land in Lynn township, he began the arduous task of redeeming a farm from the wilderness, and had since transformed his property to one of the best farming estates in the township. On March 8, 1866, Mr. Wheeler was united in marriage with Violetta Lamley, who was born in Noble County, Ohio, April 3, 1844, a daughter of Henry and Dorcas (Linton) Lamley. Two children blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, namely: Amos D. born January 18, 1867, married Etta Dillon; and Hattie I. born June 21, 1871, who married Marcena S. Spencer of Hepburn. Mr. Wheeler served for six years as trustee of Lynn township, and he was a member of Post No. 97 Grand Army of the Republic, of Kenton. Mr. Wheeler leaves to mourn his passing one daughter , Mrs. Hattie Spencer; and one son, Amos Wheeler, both of Kenton; nine grandchildren, and six great grand-children.
