This family is enumerated in the 1880 Federal Census, living in Moline, Rock Island, IL, pg 422D. Theodore, age 41, Camilla, wife, age 35, Lucy G., daughter, age 12, Stillman W., son, age 10, Alice H., daughter, age 6, T. Morris, son, age 3, Herbert Thomas, brother in law, age 23. Theodore D. Wheelock came to Moline in 1858, and for the next two years went to school during the winters, and worked for his uncle as a teamster during the summers. On 3 Apr 1860 he became an apprentice with Williams, Heald & Co, foundrymen and machinists, and continued until the summer of 1861, when he enlisted as a private in Company H. in the same regiment as his older brother. He served until 9 July 1864, when he was mustered out with the rank of corporal. For four years afterward he followed the machinist trade and then entered the employ of the Moline Plow Company as engineer and continued for two years. For the next three years he was in the boot and shoe business under the firm name of Thomas & Wheelock, when he became superintendent for the Moline Scale Company and remained six years. Mr. Wheelock was then employed as foreman of the iron department for the Moline Plow Company and continued to 1892. Later he became engineer at the city waterworks and filled that position up to the time of death, 21 May 1906.
