Notes:

William W. Wheelock was born 24 Feb 1864 in Felts Mills, NY. He lived with his parents in Canton, NY from 1865 to 1885. Having attended St. Louis University and Norwestern University Law School in Chicago, IL, he graduated with a law degree in 1888.

He was a member of the New York Bar Association from 1885 to 1887, then, after moving to Chicago, became a member of the Chicago Bar. He served in the Illinois House of Representatives, where family tradition states that he proposed and passed a bill to make Lincon's birthday a state holiday. He was also a member of the American Bar Association, Illinois State Bar Association, Chicago Law Institute, Sons of the American Revolution, Masonic Order, the Shrine, Union League of Chicago, Skokie Country Club, Swan Lake Club, and the Kenilworth Club.

In August, 1892, he was appointed assistant attorney of the Sanitary DIstrict (drainage board) of Chicago. This organization was in charge of the construction of the great ship and drainage canal designed to afford water communication between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.

An article, written about him in the 1890's points out that he was not an office seeker, but rather office sought him and found him most worthy to wear its honor, and most zealous in the performance of its duties. The article goes on to say:

"Personally, he is of fine appearance and pleasing address. He makes friends readily and retains them once made. His career thus far has been one of greatest personal honor and credit. He has deserved the confidence of the public and has proven it by the manner in which he has met the expectations of his constituency."
