Luther worked the homestead farm of his father, Samuel, in Berkshire County, MA, until 1865, when he sold the place and later removed to Blandford, Hampden County, MA, where he spent his last days. (Source: "The Biographical Record of Whiteside County, Illinois", published 1900 by the S. J. Clarke Publishing Company.)
The obituary of Luther's son, Samuel L. Wheelock, mentions three brothers and two sisters. They were Mrs. Hugins of Rock Falls, Mrs. Breckonridge of Tampico, J. E. Wheelock of Collinsville, CT, Harlow A. Wheelock of Canton, CT, and William L. Wheelock of Bridgemar, MI. J. E. Wheelock is assumed to be Josiah Wheelock, whose birth is recorded in Tyringham, MA. Sarah C. Wheelock, whose birth is also recorded in Tyringham, is not mentioned in the obituary.
The 1900 US Federal Census for Coloma Township, Rock Falls City, Ward 1, mentions Louisa Huggins, female, age 64, born in Massachusetts, presumed to be the "Mrs. Hugins" of Rock Falls mentioned in her brothers obituary. Milly A. Breckenridge, 1828 to 1903, is buried in Tampico Cemetery, and is presumed to be the Mrs. Breckonridge of Tampico, mentioned in Samuel L. Wheelock's obituary.
