The following obituary was found in the scrapbook of Carrie Wheelock. It is presented verbatim below.
15 Aug 1906
Charles Sumner Wheelock whose death yesterday afternoon was briefly chronicled in yesterday's paper was the son of the late Langdon C. Wheelock, Esq. He was graduated at Goddard Seminary, and entered Tufts College. After two years in the later institution, ill health compelled him to go further from the coast. He then took a course and graduated at the Eastman (??) Business College in Poughkipsie, N.Y.
For three years he was at the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City, when ill health again compelled him to give up [..illegible...] purpose. The directors of the bank with great kindness gave him a years leave of absence during which time he hoped to regain his strength. For three years he was travelling, trying to find some place which would restore him to health, but his search, proving fruitless, he returned to his home of Barre where he had remained, except for brief intervals away, ever since, during which time he was a constant sufferer from asthma. The disease produced a weakened heart and resulted in heart failure.
Those who knew him well had many pleasant memories of his sparkling wit and his keen appreciation of things. It was this rare gift which kept him cheerful under most trying conditions and enabled him to find joy in life although forced by his illness to spend much of his time in his room. He was an ardent lover of outdoor sports, although denied large participation in them, an enthusiastic admirer of nature, and something of a naturalist in an unscientific way. He was a loyal citizen anxious for the best interests of his native city, and believing thoroughly in her bright future, he was a consistent temperance man and a staunch Universalist.
With him has died the last male in his line of the Wheelock family. He leaves his mother and one sister.
The funeral will be held at his late home, 145 North Main St, Barre, Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The friends are kindly requested not to send flowers.

Jesse Wheelock moved with his father, in 1806, from Cheshire Co, NH to Windsor County, VT. In 1816 he moved to Ontario Co, NY, in 1822 to Erie County PA, and in 1824 to Richmond, Crawford Co, PA, where he resided at least until 1874. (Src: "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Crawford Co, PA, for 1874", compiled and published by Hamilton Child, Syracuse, NY, 1874.) Jesse Wheelock does not appear in the 1820 Census. He is listed in Richmond, Crawford Co, PA in the 1830 Census; but was not found in the 1840 or 1850 Census. Jesse Wheelock appears in the 1860 Federal Census living in Richmond, Crawford Co, PA, age 60, with Mary, age 45, Jeanette, age 18, Isaac, age 16, Jesse, age 14, Lavina, age 10, Cornelius, age 8, and Solomon, age 3. He appears in the 1870 Census, in Richmond, age 70, with Frances, age 52, Cornelius, age 17, and Violetta, age 13. He is again in Richmond in 1880, age 79, with his wife, Francis, age 75; next to Seymore Wheelock, age 40, wife Cordelia, age 35, and Wm, age 12.

Josiah resided in California in 1876. (Source: History of Sanbornton, NH, 1881)
The oral tradition of several descendants of Josiah Burley Wheelock is that he "left the East Coast on a ship, after a bar room brawl, leaving a wife a several sons". Another descendant reports that he "grew up in the Boston area, killed a man with a shovel, stowed on a whaler and went to San Francisco", where he met Martha Denney. He was supposedly born in Coventry, VT.
It is presumed, though no proof has yet been found, that the Josiah Burley Wheelock who married Martha Denney is the same Josiah B. Wheelock that that was born 2 Jan 1836, son of Joseph Wheelock and Harriet Pierce.
The evidence for this is as follows:
1) The dates fit,
2) Josiah's father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather lived in the vicinity of Coventry and nearby Newport, VT. His uncle and namesake, Josiah Burleigh Wheelock was born in Coventry.
3) The "History of Sanbornton, NH", by Rev. M. T. Runnels, published in 1881, reports that Josiah B. Wheelock was living in California.
(Source: Private records of Melody (Wheelock) Smith, and Karen Lansing, both descendants of Josiah Burley Wheelock, Nov 2000.)
The children of Josiah Burley Wheelock and Martha Denney (Hattie, Mary, Ida, Isabel, James, Dottie, Frances, Etta, Leonard, and Clinton) are taken from the private records of Karen Lansing, a descendant, Nov 2000.

Obadiah removed to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia; probably in the 1760's. Two of his brothers (Elias and Joseph) also went to Nova Scotia, and probably made the trip with him. The 1768 census for Annapolis lists Obadiah with one male and three females in the household, all four Americans. While one of the females may have been his wife's sister (Sarah), it is likely that at least one female was their first daughter. From this, we can suppose that Obadiah and Rachel were married circa 1765.
Obid Wheelock, Captain, died at Annapolis, Nova Scotia, in 1807, age 72, is listed as a loyalist in the book "Biographical Sketches of Loyalists of the American Revolution with an Historical Essay", by Lorenzo Sabine, Boston, Little, Brown, and Company, 1864.
