From THE VALLEY OF THE UPPER MAUMEE and ANNALS OF THE TOWNSHIPS, 1887 edition, reprint by Brant and Fuller, Madison, Wisc., page 320

SCHUYLER WHEELER, (deceased) was one of the pioneers of Allen county.  He was born July 22, 1802, in Massachusetts, but was taken to New York by his parents when only six months of age.  He remained in Oswego county until fourteen years of age, when he removed to Orangeville, New York, where he remained until 1836, when he settled in Allen county, entering 400 acres, in April.  Returning to New York, he brought his family during the summer of 1836.  In 1828 he had been united in marriage with LYDIA, daughter of PERRY G. and SOPHIA SMITH.  This union was blessed with 4 children, 3 of whom are living; 

JULIA, COMMODORE P., now a resident of Missouri, COLUMBIA, the wife of F.C. WEST, who died April 19, 1888, and ALMINA, wife of CYRUS KRUMLAUF.  Mrs. Wheeler was born in Berkshire county, Mass., in 1801.  She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from 16 years of age.  He served apprenticeship at the tanner’s trade, at the age of 9 years, and after he became 21, he formed a partnership with his father and LUTHER BRIGGS, and in connection with the tannery they also ran a boot and shoe store.  He had strong elements of character that commanded the respect and confidence of his neighbors and associates.  He succeeded financially, leaving 940 acres of good land here, and 1,800 in Missouri, and in public life was honored by the position of representative of Allen County, in the legislature of 1859.
