  Notes	The Gallia Times May 26, 1921 Death of Eli Wheaton Eli W. Wheaton, son of Benjamin and Sarah Wheaton, was born in Mercer County, Pa., Auguust 12, 1843, and departed this life at his home in Morgan township, May 14, 1921, aged 77 years, 9 months and 2 days. Having been raised on a farm, he early in life chose farming as an occupation and for a number of years engaged quite extensively in fruit growing, and by well directed energy and tireless industry his labors were crowned with success. In 1872 he was united in marriage to Nancy Jane Harding. To this union were born three children, Loren B. of Columbus, and Inez May and Horton L. who with the wife and mother, preceded him in death. In 1880 he was again united in marriage to Cynthia A. Clouse. To this union were born two sons, Jesse E. of Wilkesville and Forrest D. who resides at home. Besides the two sons, he leaves 13 grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Heeding his country's call, he enlisted in Company D, 141 O. V. I., served until the close of the war and was honorably discharged. In his early life he was converted, baptized and became a member of the Second Kyger Freewill Baptist Church and remained a consistent member until his death. In his passing away his family mourns the loss of a kind father whose greatest concern was their welfare and happiness. The community will miss the genial presence of one who for so many years has been a part of it. He was an honest man, whose word was a good as his bond, and whose name was above reproach. "He has served his generation by the will of God and has fallen asleep." The funeral was held at Poplar Ridge Church Monday, May 16, conducted by Rev. W. J. Fulton, burial by H. E. Butler. 1890 Gallia County, Ohio Wheaton, Eli; rank - Priv.; Unit - Co D, 141 Reg Oh. Inf.; Enl. - May 5, 1864; Dis. - September 10, 1864; L/S - 4m 5d; Add. - Eno, Gallia County, Ohio; Dis.
