The Chariton Patriot
Chariton, Iowa
1875 (I neglected to put the date on the copy. duh..)

Liberty. -- S.D. WHEELER has moved from this to Whitebreast township having
disposed of his old farm to two of his sons GEORGE and MASON. He resides on
the south part of what is known as the "old Knolen Farm".

MASON WHEELER has sold his farm to HENRY W. LANE.

Old MR. SYDEBOTTOM is dangerously sick as also is the wife of JNO. W. VANTER
The latter has rheumatism.

MR. W.M. HORNER has left for Kansas with his family.

STEPHEN HULBURT and HIRAM KNAPP skedaddled recently without informing their creditors where they were bound for.

JACKSON LOWLY and OLIVER CLOUSE had a little unpleasantness a few weeks ago the result being that the latter will have to imputate (sic) one of his hands. JACK has good teeth and used them freely on the said occasion.

DRS. FITCH and STANTON amputated a finger close to the hand for the wife of
JNO. N. LANE on Sunday last. A felon was the cause.

1880 census
Whitebreast Township, Lucas County, Iowa

Samuel D. Wheeler, head, age 69, farmer, born in Virginia, father born in Maryland, mother born in Virginia

Elizabeth Wheeler, wife, age 62, born in Ohio, both parents born in Virginia

Abraham L. Wheeler, son, age 15, at home, born in Iowa, father born in Virginia, mother born in Ohio

Do I know for a fact that this is S. D. Wheeler and his family...NO, but I believe that it is.
