    Notes 
    • Fred married later in life because he lived at home with his divorced mother and sisters who had children but no husbands. He helped take care of everyone. Wheeler and his family always lived within walking distance of his mother. He and his wife farmed and raised chickens. Even on that meager income, they put money aside to ensure a college education for their daughters. Wheeler had Alzheimer's disease, and was in a nursing home for the last six years of his life. His wife Pauline visited him faithfully every day.
