Elisha Kent Kane Wheelock was named for the Arctic explorer who returned from his second expedition and published his memoirs in 1856. He grew to boyhood in Leo, Indiana, where he attended school. In 1872, he entered into a dental apprenticeship with Dr. Long and Dr. Brown, both of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Not satisfied with the dental profession, and against the advice of his father, he studied to teach, obtained a license, and began to teach in an Amish settlement, one half mile east of Leo.
In 1877, his half brother, Dr. Elbridge Gerry Wheelock came to Leo to take up the practice of medicine. Inspired, Elisha Kent Kane Wheelock entered Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City, where he graduated 1 Mar 1880. After this he returned to Huntertown, Indiana, where he was born, and where his father and half brother had already established enviable reputations as doctors. He practiced there for a time, and then moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he continued his practice.
From 1884 to 1900, Dr. Wheelock held the professorship of opthalmology and otology at the the Fort Wayne College of Medicine. He was the first coronor of Allen County, having been appointed to the position in 1881. He was elected the following year, and held the position for four more years.
