Wheeler had a most beautiful tombstone put up at the cemetery last week for his father and mother. It is indeed a beauty." The day this was listed in the newspaper is the same day that Isaac died and by the next week the headlines in the same paper were about the mystery surrounding his death. Within a very short amount of time the papers were printing information about what a strange man he was and how inappropriate the inscription on the tombstone was. It can change very quickly!!
