Samuel Leland Wheelock, for forty years a farmer in Whiteside County, Illinois, was born in Tyringham, Berkshire County, Massacuhsetts, 26 Jan 1825, son of Luther Wheelock and Clarissa Marcy. His paternal grandfather, Samuel Wheelock, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and during that struggle he located in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, where he cleared and developed the farm on which his son Luther, and his grandson Samuel L. Wheelock were born. Samuel L. passed his boyhood and youth on the old homestead, receiving rather a limited education by attending school during the winter months. In 1844 he married Miss Almena R. Langdon, daughter of Amos Langdon, also a resident of Berkshire County. In 1854 Mr. Wheelock and family left the east and went to Whiteside County, Illinois, where they spent the first winter in Portland. After that, he located in Prophetstown where he worked at various jobs for six years, rented land and worked it for three years, then purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land in Hume towhship. He improved this land, fenced it, cultivated fruit and forest trees, and added to his acreage from time to time until he had four hundred acres. In addition to farming, he engaged in raising and feeding stock for market. In 1893 he retired to Rock Falls, Illinois, where he died of a stroke on 9 Mar 1901. He was buried in Tampico Cemetery with his wife and mother.
Samuel L. Wheelock and Almena (Langdon) Wheelock had four children: Mary Amanda (m. William Dennison), Elbert E., Luther A., and Ozero, who died in infancy.
He left three brothers and two sisters to mourn his death. 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.
