Lucius P. Wheelock was educated in the district schools and had one term in the Aurora Academy. He then taught three terms in his home district and two terms farther away, devoting his time in the intervals to work on the home farm, and remained at Holland until the death of his father in 1869. He was appointed administrator of the estate and after settling all claims sold the farm, and accompanied his mother and sister to Moline, Ill. After a month or two he started for Madison, Wisconsin to visit his uncle, Daniel Larkin, and in February, 1870, with his brother, Jerome B., went on ot Springfield, Mo. There they rented a farm of 400 acres and conducted it for two years. In the meanwhile his mother had settled on her farm in Wisconsin and he returned there for a visit and then went back to Holland, NY. After clerking in a store there for one year he worked as a hand in a blacksmith shop, in which he later became a partner; but after two years gave up his prospects there and returned to Wisconsin and while managing his mother's farm devoted his spare moments to study and in December, 1876, was graduated from the Northwester Business COllege. On 1 May 1877, he came to Moline and entered the employ of the Victor Scale Company as traveling builder and also worked occasionally in the shops, and in July, 1881 he became superintendent of the shops of this company and continued for four years. In 1885 he entered the shops of the Moline Plow Company as superintendent of one of their specialy departments, the Flying Dutchman Sulkey Plow, where he remained until he resigned the office, 3 June 1893. Mr. Wheelock spent five years in Wisconsin and three years in California. For the past three years he has made his home with his sister, Mrs. Anderson, never having married.
