Sudden Death:  John B. Wheeler, a notice of whose death appeared last week in our obituary column deserves more than a passing notice.  Mr Wheeler came to this town about 36 years ago, and soon commenced the battle of life, poor and unaided.  He was industrious and prudent, and succeeded.  His education was limited, but his vigorous and original intellect and strong common sense made him successful in whatever he undertook.  He was one of he leading men of the town, and as a business man did much for its improvement.  He was the friend of the poor, and was always ready and willing to help those that would help themselves.  His sudden death has thrown a deep gloom over the community, and many are the poor that will miss his assisting hand.  In his death the town has lost an active business man, community a good citizen, the poor a friend.
