 Death of Mr. James Wheeler  (The Hillsdale Democrat, Hillsdale Michigan January 23, 1891)

   Died, at his home in the township of Somerset, January 17, 1891, of paralysis of the heart, Mr. James Wheeler, aged 70 years, 5 months, and 4 days, having lived his allotted time of three score years and ten.

He was the youngest of ten children, all of whom lived to be over seventy years old. Three of these, one sister and two brothers, survive him.

Mr. Wheeler was born in Columbus County, New York, August 13, 1820, where he lived until after his marriage, September 14, 1843, to Miss Mary (Jemima) Nutten. Soon after his marriage he followed the tide of emigration westward to Michigan. He lived here until 1850, when he returned to his native state. In 1860 he again returned to Michigan, since which time he has lived in different parts of the state, but the greater share of the time in Hillsdale County. About a year before his death he purchased the farm on which he was living.

He commanded the respect of his neighbors there, as at other places, by the example of his pure and noble life. Always cheerful, he was a good companion for both young and old. The deceased in early life gave his heart to God. His religion was to be seen in his every day actions, not cast aside merely to be donned for Sunday wear. The Bible was his guide, and he always labored for Christianity, was never found idle nor off duty when an opportunity presented itself.

He was ready at his Master's summons, which came very suddenly, as he was taken ill on Friday forenoon and death relieved him Saturday morning.

He leaves three children--one daughter, Mrs. Mary Cleveland, and two sons, Wilbur and Frank Wheeler, to mourn him as a kind father and counselor, beside many other relatives and a host of friends.

The family have the sympathy of the entire community, and may they in him see and example from which to pattern.

The esteem in which he was held was shown by the large concourse of people that were gathered at the funereal which took place at Moscow January 19th, 1891, Monday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mr. Tuthill. The remains were taken to North Adams to be beside those of his wife, who died some years before.

Mr. Wheeler was radical in all things, inasmuch as he never did anything by halves, but put his whole soul into the work. In politics he was a staunch prohibitionist, being not afraid to be one of the first to vote for that party.

November, 1889, he united with the M. E. church at Moscow by letter from North Adams, but he did not come as a stranger, for he had belonged to the same church years before, and so received a warm welcome. Of Mr. Wheeler it has been truly said: "There would have to be the first person found to speak ill of him, as none knew him but to love him."
