| Notes |
- Obituary clipping, newspaper unknown:
- Lemuel A. Wheeler was born in Clarksville, Ohio, in August, 1834, and died at the national soldier's home at Leavenworth Kas., August 20, 1922, at the age of 88 years. He went to Missouri in 1862 and from there to Richardson county,
Nebr., in 1863. He enlisted in the Second Nebraska regiment in 1863, and for many years was a member of John Ingham Post No. 95, G.A.R., of this city.
- For many years he had his home in Pawnee City, where he and an unmarried sister, Betsy B. Wheeler, lived comfortably and happily until she died in February, 1921. After his sister's death Mr Wheeler's sight failed rapidly and his friends
thought it would be better for him to go to the soldiers' home at Leavenworth. After going to the home he made business visits to Pawnee and only a short time ago was greeting his friends in the streets of our city.
- Mr. Wheeler was of a friendly and jovial disposition. Always ready with an interesting reply and witty repartee, he numbered his friends by the number of his acquaintances.
- Funeral services were held in Pawnee City Thursday morning, August 24, under the direction of the grand Army of the Republic, of which he was a member. Rev. C.N. Dawson, pastor of the Methodist church, preached the sermon, and he was
buried beside his sister in the Pawnee City cemetery.
- Relatives present at the funeral were John Dunning, a nephew, and his wife of Indianola, Nebr.
