Wentz

Died
 
Wentz, Harry Ruckle Wentz, only son of Henry and Sarah A. Wentz, born in Shelby,
Ohio, March 21st, 1867, died at the residence of his parents, in east Shelby,
November 19, 1887 of diphtheria, aged 10 years, 7 months and 28 days.
 
The funeral services on the 20th inst. were largely attended. At the residence of
the parents the choir sang an appropriate piece, and Rev. Foust offered prayer, after
which the remains were taken to the London Church and a short sermon was
preached by the parents pastor, and an address given by the Superintendent of the
Shelby Public Schools.
 
It was manifest to all present that little Harry had not only won the affections of
the Superintendent, but also of his former day school teacher and his Sabbath
school teacher. He was sick only one week, during which he suffered much, but
very patiently. All that the skill of the physicians and parental affection could do
were in vain. Death claimed him as a victim, but the "white-winged angels" met
the child in the vestibule of life and conveyed his spirit to the bosom of God.

Wheeler

 
Richland County Pioneer
 
O. D. Wheeler died this morning at family home North of Shelby-Funeral
Wednesday. The death of O. D. Wheeler a pioneer of this section of Richland
county occurred this morning at 2:30 o’clock at the family home in
Plymouth township, where he had resided for many years. Mr. Wheeler
would have been 88 years of age in May, 1913, and death was due to the
infirmities of old age. He had been in failing health for several years
and was confined to his home the greater part of the time. A few days
ago he contracted pneumonia, which was the immediate cause of death.
 
Dennis Wheeler was the son of Oliver Wheeler who immigrated from
Connecticut to Ohio at an early day and settled two miles northwest of Shelby.
His father served in the war of 1812 and his mother whose maiden name was
Rebecca Holston, was born in Pennsylvania. His father and mother died
when he was but a small boy and the eldest son, Issac Wheeler, was left to take
care of this brothers and sisters. Thus at an early age he was deprived of
the fostering care of a mother and father, and was thrown upon his own
resources. The eldest brother kept the family together for several years until
they were old enough to do for themselves. The education privileges of
Mr. Wheeler were poor in those early days as he was compelled to go to
work when but a small boy. He acquired sufficient education to handle his
business in a practical manner and was a close observer of the issues of the
times. He was married to Miss Amanda Rambo, who with five children
survive him. For many years Dennis Wheeler lived in Shelby and was
employed as a carpenter. However the greater part of his life was devoted
to agricultural pursuits.
 
Mrs. O. D. Wheeler and the following children survive him:
W.L. Wheeler, a lawyer of Toledo; Gilbert Wheeler who lives on the farm;
G.I. Wheeler of Shelby; Mrs. Jennie Scott, who is at home assisting in the
care of her parents; and Mrs E.S. Close, Jr. of Shelby. Albert Wheeler,
who was a Congregational minister with a charge in Toledo, died about
20 years ago. His health failed and he went west in hope of improving it.
He was taken ill and died. Lester Wheeler, another son, died about
23 years ago.
 
The funeral of O.D. Wheeler will be held Wednesday from the family home
three and a half miles north of Shelby, at 10 o’clock, standard time.
Rev. W.C. Munson pastor of the Presbyterian church, will have charge
of the service. The internment will be made in the family lot
in the Oakland Cemetery.
