Jackson Sentinel,
Sept. 12, 1872

Major W. Wheeler dies suddenly.

Major W. Wheeler, a well-known citizen of this place, died very suddenly last Sunday morning, of typhoid fever. He had been sick about a week, and passed away so quietly that the attendants at his bedside were not aware of the fact until some moments after he had ceased to breathe. The major was formerly of New York, and held a commission in a regiment of that State during the war. He was buried on Monday with Masonic honors.
