George Gill Wheelock was born at Avon Place, Boston, 24 Nov 1838. He attended the Adams Grammar School in Boston, from which he graduated in 1851 with the first silver medal, and then attended the Public Latin School, from which he graduated in 1856 with the third Franklin medal. He then entered Harvard College, where he studied Greek, Latin, physics and chemistry, among other subjects. He sang in the choir at morning prayers and Sunday services, and was a member of the Glee Club, singing second bass. He later became a member of the "Hasty Pudding Club", assisted in preparing the illuminated playbills, and took part in the various theatrical entertainments sometimes in female charaters. He graduated in 1860, ranking 6th out of 113.
When he graduated, his mother having recently died, he went to stay with his sister, Mrs. Chandler, in New York City, where he soon began the study of medicine. In 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War he volunteered for duty, and became assistant to the surgeon of the Fourth New York Volunteers, where he served under General Butler at Newport News, VA, until the end of summer. After this, he attended lectures at the United States Sanitary Commission, and worked with the sick and wounded, under General McClellan, until he became sick himself, and was obliged to return to New York. Here he continued his medical studies and obtained his M.D. in March, 1864. The war continued, and he took a position as a contract surgeon for the Union Army. He was sent to Savanna, then just captured by General Sherman, and was made executive officer with about 18 surgeons under him. He remained in this position until July 4th, 1865.
In October, 1865 he went to Europe to continue his medical studies and to enjoy the art and sculpture of the continent. He traveled to Paris, England, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Italy, where he revelled in the enjoyment of sculpture and painting.
Soon after his return from Europe he was appointed assistant demonstrator of anatomy in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He remained associated with the college for 24 years. In 1891 the College of Physicians and Surgeons merged with Columbia College, and Dr. Wheelock was one of the two trustees chosen as trustee of Columbia, a position that he held for many years. He was a member of the building and finance committee of Columbia, and served as attending physician to the Presbyterian Hospital and to St. Luke's Hospital. He contributed five years of his time to the Colored Home and Hospital and was a consulting physician to the Emigrant Hospital on Ward's Island. During this time he maintained a lively medical practice in New York city, and found time to contribe occassional articles to medical journals, and translate works from German to English.
After retiring from medicine, he led a busy life contributing time and effort to charitable organizations. He was a trustee of the Childrens Aid Society of New York, established by Charles Loring Brace; a trustee of the Society for Caring for Juvenile Delinquents on Randall's Island, NY; trustee of the State Charities Aid Association; and president of the County Visiting Committee whose function was to improve through critical review all city institutions under the commissioners of charity.

His letters published in the "Report of the Class of 1860", Harvard, indicate that his only son married Catharine Morgan Dix, daughter of Rev. Morgan Dix of the Old Trinity Chruch.
