Stillman W. Wheelock was the first of the family who settled in Illinois. In the spring of 1839, with $60 in his pocket, he left Buffalo, NY, on the steamer "Anthony Wayne", and landed in the marshy village of Chicago May 10, 1839. He remained over night but the next day he walked on as far as St. Charles, where he accepted a job, in a hardwood sawmill, at one dollar a day of twelve hours. Afterward he rented the mill in partnership with a man by the name of Flint; later engaged there in the hotel business, afterward followed farming. In the spring of 1851 he came to Moline and bought an old foundry and in partnership with a Mr. Smedley began the manufacture of paper and later the firm became Wheelock and Fergus. In 1827 he bought a large interest in the firm of Candee, Swan & Co, plow manufacturers, and became president of the company, and at the time the firm became The Moline Plow Company, and he continued at its head until his death. He was also one of the organizers and a stockholder of the Moline Malleable Iron Works, organized in June 1884, accepted the office of president and controlled the stock. In the same year was organized the Moline Central Street Railway, of which he also became president, this transportation line being opened to the public in June, 1885. The three-story building which was occupied for twelve years by the Moline post office, was built by Mr. and Mrs. Wheelock and the second and third stories were presented to the Free Library Association, the first of its kind in this city. Mr. Wheelock was also president of the Moline National Bank and was mayor of the city in 1877, 1879 and 1881. He was married at St. Charles, Ill. to Lydia Flint, born in 1842, who died at Moline December 27, 1890, without issue.
