Death
WHEELER: In Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], at the residence of her son, Philip Wheeler, March 9th, Mrs. Naomi Wheeler, widow of the late Henry Wheeler, aged 90 years.
Mrs. Wheeler was born in Foster, Rhode Island. In July 1812. came with her husband and six children and settled upon the place where she died. She was the mother of thirteen children, all but one attained the age of maturity, was a faithful wife, a good mother, and a kind neighbor. For many years her husband kept a public house on the now Catskill turnpike, and her name will be remembered by those who called there for entertainment. Like all wives of pioneers, she nobly endured great hardships and privations in those days when the now pleasant village of Guilford was a collection of ponds, swamps and bustling with tall hemlocks; when the paths to it was by marked trees, and a village undreamed of by anyone. She lived to see the great wilderness changed into fertile farms, the isolated log houses into comfortable homes, and to hear the rushing tramp of the iron horse where wild animals used to roam unmolested. Finally, having survived her husband eighteen years, and attained a venerable age, strength failed, and she saw herself slowly but surely going to rest. Her mind remained unclouded to the last, and she died leaving to her children the assurance that to her, death was but the entrance to better and brighter regions beyond the river. Children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren gathered to pay their last tribute of love, and her own pastor, Rev. Lyman Yale, officiated at the funeral services.

In his youth he engaged in the business of blacksmithing and continued it up to manhood, occupying what was known as the old brick shop located near the building now occupied by Dewitt Reynolds. About thirty years ago, he entered into the grocery business and continued it successfully until 1868, when he sold out to his son Dewitt, the present proprietor. He was a quiet, unpretentious citizen, rarely mingling in politics or other excitements which give men note, though several times he fulfilled the duties of some of the town offices creditably. A member of no church, yet his sympathies were with the Universalists and he usually worshipped with that denomination. He leaves surviving him four daughters and two sons. the former, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Fandish reside in Chicago, and Mrs. Isham and Miss Harmy Reynolds are residents of this village. Mr. Rush Reynolds resides in Covington, Ohio, and Dewitt Reynolds, as is well known, is proprietor of the store formerly occupied by his father.
The deceased had suffered for a long time with the Bright's disease and his death was not altogether unexpected. On Thursday his remains were deposited in the cemetery at the Quarter. So, they pass away, one by one.
