An Old Settler Gone.
L.R. Wheeler, who located in Sabetha away back about 1855, passed away last week at Long Beach, California, where he went only last fall to spend the winter season. Mr. Wheeler was one of the best-known residents of the county. He was a life-long democrat and was one of the chief spirits of the party when there were but a handful of the faith in the county. He was the owner of a good farm in the vicinity of Sabetha and was for many years engaged in business in that city. He was past eight years of age at the time of his death. His body was brought to Sabetha for burial, being met on the way and accompanied back by his daughter, Mrs. Aaron Magill. The funeral took place Monday afternoon.
