In 1848 he located at East Pike, owning and running the stone mill at that place. He moved to Castile, Wyoming Co., NY in 1855. Farming, sawing, planing and lath and shingle-making have come in for a share of his attention. Mr. Wheeler was first married to Miss BETSY SARTWELL, of Littleton, N.H., in 1823. They had four children, two of them survive. Mrs. Betsy Wheeler died in Castile, Wyoming Co.,NY in 1861, aged sixty-seven years.
