Wheelockville is a part of Uxbridge, and is where the Stanley Mill is. It is on Rte. 16 going to Mendon. There were Wheelocks all over the place, and quite a few of them are buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery in Uxbridge, MA. Both Mendon and Uxbridge have plenty of Wheelocks to go around. What are your Wheelock ancestors? Some of them are linked to RAWSON. Here is one Wheelock: Stanley H. Wheelock, son of Arthur Wheelock a native of uxbriege and was born 15 Jul 1879. He was educated in the public schools in Uxbridge, then attended Phillip's Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH for 2 years and at Williams College where he graduated in 1902. After a year spent in the designing room at the Hecla Mill, he entered the Lowell Textile School and completed his studies there in 1905. The Stanley Woolen Co., which was formed that year, had purchased the Calumet Mill, and he was appointed designer for a year, and since that time had occupied the position of Superintendent. He was a member of the Masonic and Odds Fellows Lodges in Uxbridge. This taken from a copy of "Old Home Week Souvenir of Uxbridge, MA Sep 1908 BTW he married Harriet Finch Tobey. I have a picture of him. Along with the blub I posted, and I did change a few words of it. Here's another from the same book: Silas Mandeville Taft was a native and life-long resident of uxbridge. He was born in Rivulet Village 11 Nov 1817 son of Jerry and Sukey (Day) Wheelock. At the age of nine years, he started working in a mill. At the age of nineteen, the company of C.A. & S.M. Wheelock was organized, and the two brothers operated the Wacantic Mill. In 1870 he bought the Harris Mill at Putnam, CT, founded the Putnam Woolen Co., and was treasurer of the company until 1887, when he resigned. In 1883 he purchased the Central Mills, later called Calumet, and founded the Calumet Woolen Co., of which he was treasurer until 1890. In 1886, he purchased the Uxbridge Woolen Mill, later the Hecla, increased its size and run it under the Calumet Woolen Co. He was affiliated with the Odd Fellows, was Selectman of the town in 1870 and 1871, and served a larger constituency as State Senator in 1888 and 1889. He married Irene Taft.
