Janis, Margaret Mattis was born in Switzerland in 1843. She married Joseph Lightener and had 4 children Louisa, Mary, Chas and Rosa. Joseph Lightener committed suicide in Nov of 1873. She married Joseph Weiler in Port Clinton, Ottowa County, Ohio on 19-Oct-1874. They had four children Anna, Maggie, Louis, and John. According to the 1880 census they all ( except John who was born after the census) live in Huron Township, Huron County, Ohio as Joseph and Margaret Wheeler. Louisa Lightener is a Domestic servant for John Whickam. On 30-May 1890 mixes rat poison and whiskey and commits suicide. His obituary says Joe Wheeler lives near Sages Grove and is buried in East Side Cemetery which later becomes McMillan's. On 19-Dec-1913 Margaret Wheeler died in Huron Township, Erie County, Ohio of "Aortic Insufficiency". John Wheeler signed her death certificate. ( Wheeler Road next to the Golf course in Huron is supposed to be part of their property.) She is buried in "Scoots" (Scott's) Cemetery. They are known as Weiler, Willer and Wheeler in all of the different documents I've found. I visited Huron three years ago and went to Wheeler Road, Mcmillan's and Scott's cemeteries. I'd like to know where their property was. I have an old map from your library with names of the properties in the area during the time they lived their. It doesn't have Sage's Grove, nor does it have John Whickam's property. I'd also like to know if any of the Wheelers, Weilers or Willers still live in Huron. Irealize I ask for a lot, but any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. I have an extensive history and family tree. If you would like to see it or put it in the archives I would be happy to send it to you.
