Father: George Wheelock
Mother: Artie N. Cooper

Notes:

Records show conflicting names: Burus G. Wheelock on the 1900 Census; George Burns Wheelock on his SSN application. It is possible that he switched the order of his names, possibly after his father died. It is also possible that "Burns" was incorrectly transcribed or that "Burus" was mistaken for "Burns". Whatever the explanation, there is sufficient evidence that the records are for the same individual.¹
