    Notes:

    Name:
    It is said of Amos Wheeler that he was naturally active and energetic, but that early cares and disappointments discouraged him and he became somewhat shiftless, or at least lost some of his energy and perseverance. Among other causes was his early marriage. His first 2wife was an intellectual woman, of excellent moral character, but she was extravagant in the management of her household affairs and she was, besides, somewhat of an invalid, which necessitated the employment of hired help and this, with their rapidly increasing family, made his expenses lager than he could easily meet.

    In early life he lived with his father on the farm in Worcester. Later he was employed in a neighboring town as a cabinet-maker and was esteemed a good workman. Subsequently he removed to Woodstock, Vt., where he lived at the time of his death. His moral character is said to have been without reproach.

    His second wife was a smart, active woman who was a real help to him during the few years of their married life.
