The Independence Daily Reporter Montgomery County Tuesday January 10, 1911 Dead In Bed This Morning. Adolph Wheeler Aged 65, Died Suddenly At Table Mound. Had Not Been Feeling Well--Body Brought to This City This Noon--Taken to Michigan for Burial. Adolph WHEELER, a well known resident of Le Hunt, was found dead in bed at that place this forenoon. The body was brought here at noon and prepared for burial. It will probably be taken to Adrian, Michigan, the former home of the deceased for burial. Adolph Wheeler came here about two years ago and became manager of the Alamo Inn. He was a widower. For some days past he had been complaining of indigestion. Yesterday he suffered considerably, but continued around the hotel. Last evening he played cards with friends until about 11 o'clock when he retired. He was in the habit of sleeping lat in the morning and nothing was thought of his failure to appear this morning. About 10 o'clock some alarm was felt and a servant went to his room and found him dead. It is believed death was caused by a complication of heart trouble and indigestion. Deceased was about 65 years of age and was large of stature. He was an uncle of W.W. Wheeler who was formerly superintendent of the Table Mound cement plant but who now lives in Iola.

The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County Thursday April 14, 1887 Died,--At her home on sec. 19 6-36; Mrs. SHOALTS, of consumption. She had lingered all winter but was taken suddenly worse on April 1st., and departed this life Apr. 3rd. She leaves a large family of children and a husband to mourn her loss. This is the second death that has occurred in the family in the last year. Funeral services were held at the home on the 5th., and were attended by a large concourse of people, after which the remains were conveyed to the grave, but not interred owing to doubts in the minds of the familys as to her being dead, but taken home again. She had cautioned her daughters before her death to not let her be buried alive. April 6th the people gathered together once more pay the last sad rites to a departed friend. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad affliction. Mother will be sadly missed in the family circle, but they have a blessed comfort in that she has only gone before. She was ready to go and is only waiting for her loved ones on the other shore. Mr. Shoalts thanked his friends for their sympathy and kindess at the grave of his loved one, in a few eloquent and appropriate words. (Note; This sounds very familiar to the posted death earlier of one Mrs. SHULTZ on April 7, 1887.)

How sad for a young man full of hope and ambition for a successufl future, to be cut off in the midst of them. He had, by his industrious habits and honest dealings, made friends of all who met him, and he has said that if he had an enemy in this world, he didn't know it. His brother, John Harlan, came a few days before his death to take him back to his home in Iowa, but he was too far gone to stand the trip. His parents survive him. The remains were interred in the Colby Cemetery last Friday.
