First of all, I do not know the answer to the question about Wheeler Precinct No. 9. But I can speculate. If you'rein Sheffield and you go out Second Street, heading due east, that road goes either l6 or 18 miles and dead ends at a road where you can turn and go north over Wheeler Dam or turn south and go to Town Creek. The boundary between Colbert and Lawrence Counties is just west of that road between Town Creek and Wheeler Dam. So I would bet that the Wheeler precinct will be somewhere to the north and a little bit to the west of the intersection of Second Street with that road between Wheeler Dam and Town Creek.
