General Notes: Husband - Andrew Wheeler
He was educated in the public schools of Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania, spent his early youth in Reynoldsville and then joined his father as a dealer in mules. He first became a coal broker in 1914, purchasing several small mines, and continued his interests in this field on an expanding scale during subsequent years. In later years, however, his banking responsibilities shared his time and attention with his coal business. Elected a director of the First National Bank in 1921, Mr. Wheeler assumed increasing influence in its operation and in 1930 he succeeded Reynoldsville's most beloved citizen, John H. Kaucher, as president of that institution.
He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, a leading Presbyterian layman, serving as president of the board of trustees of his church, and was prominent in the Free and Accepted Masons, being affiliated with all higher bodies of the Scottish Rite, including Williamsport Consistory, thirty-second degree. He was a Democrat in politics.
