A few handwritten notes (Charles Morse) indicating that George M. Wheeler, son of James S. Wheeler, was born 1849, died 1926 and married Esther Forbush June 20, 1876. Pasted on this sheet of notes is a newspaper clipping with picture of George Wheeler and an article on his candidacy for political office. Mr. Wheeler was born in Warwick, has been a selectman of Warwick two years and a member of several organizations including being a member of the Orange Board of Trade. George Wheeler conducts a "flourishing business" making wooden boxes. With the exception of boxes made for Whitman Grocery Co. of Orange, his product mainly goes to the New York market. It is not clear what office Mr. Wheeler is pursuing but "He is the strongest candidate the Democrats could have placed in the field."
Four pages of handwritten notes (Charles Morse) on the genealogy of the Wheelock family. Genealogy begins with Eleazor Wheelock from Milford 1760-1775, married Huldah Woodward, and built a log house on Beech Hill and continues listing his nine children - Jonathan, Lemuel, Humphrey, Annie, Susannah, Experience, Lucy, Melinda, and Luthera and continues with the children of Eleazor's children. There is some very interesting information (perhaps gossip) on some of these people - no indication of where this information originated. One piece of information especially interesting to the WHS - Marie Antoinette (Nettie) daughter of Lemuel, married Colonel William McKim of Boston. Colonel McKim in 1862 gave Warwick a plantation bell to be hung in the center school (which burned in 1929).
