Dana was a partner of Leonard Nason in the mill operations at Nasonville.²

Dana Wheelock, 60, manufacturer of woolen goods, is enumerated in the 1870 census, living in Philadelphia, with Mary Morton, age 40, born New Jersey, housekeeper.

Dana Wheelock, 73, real estate agent, disabled, and second wife, Mary, 53, were living in the Second Ward of Philadelphia, in 1880.

When a young man, Dana lost a leg in an accident. Quoting Carlyle Capron Wheelock: "During the usual 4th of July hilarity an over-loaded gun burst and a portion of it passed through his leg, necessitating amputation." Dana died at the home of his nephew, Charles Lapham, and was buried first in the Wheelock family cemetery in Burrillville (BU-106), but was later moved to the Nason lot at Nasonville (BU-39), where his wife and children were buried.³
