Did anyone get an obit of Myrtle Wheeler? Linda In a message dated 10/24/2008 1:27:49 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, charlotteandrobert@tm.net writes: HI!.... just sent a copy of Joseph E. Wheeler's death cert....it lists Myrtle Pfadt as his wife. and apparently he died in 1947, before Myrtle's father did.....if that 1953 date is correct. 1920 Clifton Forge {Independent City} VA Wheeler, Joseph e. 34 WV WV WV railroad lineman Myrtle 32 OH OH OH telegraph operator Mary T. 1 & 4/12 VA WV OH ELIZA J. 57....mother...widowed....WV WV WV Effie 37 .. sister....single....WV WV WV per the death record i sent a bit ago, Joseph's father was Clark Wheeler...which could possibly be John Clark Wheeler. {see following censuses}. apparently the girl Mary didn't make it to 1930 as she is not shown in the census w/ her family: 1930 Huntington CABELL Co., WV Wheeler, Joseph 44 WV WV WV railroad lineman Myrtle 40 OH VA VA Thelma 11 VA WV OH Joseph Jr. 6 VA WV OH Martin, Arthur 27 WV US US....a boarder it says that Joseph was 30 at the time of marriage and Myrtle 26...so this would place their marriage year as 1916 or thereabouts. 1900 Summers Co. WV census: Wheeler, Eliza J. 38 widow Effie 18 Walter 16 JOSEPH 14 Roscoe 13 Wildie 9 Oma 3 Luceal 1 with the youngest having been born circa 1899, it could be supposed that that is the time that Clark Wheeler died (?). in the 1910 Cenuses we find: 1910 Summers Co. WV: Wheeler, Eliza J. 48...widowed [misindexed as WHEELES] Effie 28 Roscoe 22 Omie 13 1910 Alleghaney Co. VIRGINIA...living with a Dobbs family is Wheeler, Joseph E. 23...WV WV WV...working for the railroad in a SEPERATE Household: Pfadt, John J. m2} bn. OH...GER...FR[(?) hard to read /possible GER too]..........telegraph operator for the railroad Rosa m1} bn. VA VA VA...married 17 yrs. having had 7 children MYRTLE M 20...OH OH OH........telegraph operator for the railroad John 17 OH OH OH.......same Ray 16 Harry 14 Edith 11 Gaddis 8 Lillian 5 Berdie 3 Ruth 1 it is obvious that Myrtle and her brother John do not belong to Rosa...and in the census Myrtle is MISINDEXED as "MARTHA" !!! also obvious is that Myrtle and Joseph met while working at the same place!! at the LDS site there is a listing for a John J. Pfadt bn. circa 1866 in FAIRFIELD CO OHIO to a Martin and Magdalena Pfadt {both parents born in GERMANY}....other entries state that John J. Pfadt married MAY ADCOTT bc 1870 and had a son John born circa Apr. 1892....this would match with the age of Myrtle's brother John shown in 1910. It could prob. be safely assumed that May Adcott was Myrtle's mother, at this point. You can see this 1880 Fairfield Co. OH census at www.familysearch.com if you wish. in the 1880 Talcott, SUMMERS, WV census: Wheeler, Eliza Ann 59...widow John CLARK 30....son Drucilla 20....dau. Berian 18...son [spelling is hard to read] Sarah E. 13 ...dau ELIZA JANE 18....NIECE so we can tell that Eliza Jane's maiden name was also WHEELER and she married her cousin John CLARK Wheeler!!! [see 1870 Monroe Co WV census...following a bit below..... for more info] 1870 Forest Hill, MONROE CO WV: Wheeler, Eliza 39 John C. 19 Matthew 17 Andrew 15 Elizabeth 13 Drusilla 9 Benniah (?) 8 Sarah 2 1860 MONROE CO VA/ now WV: Wheeler, Joseph A. 31 Eliza 29 John C. 9 Matthew 7 Andrew 5 Elizabeth 3 Drucilla 4/12 Meriam 15 [she may be Joseph's younger sister? but the census doesn't explain her position in the family] at www.rootsweb.com under their family trees you will find that Joseph Anderson Wheeler was the s/o Robert Wheeler and Miriam Payne. in the 1870 Census we also find in Monroe Co. WV: Wheeler, Elias 36 Eliza 33 Lewis 12 Marinda 11 Luverny 9 ELIZA J 7 Elias 4 John 3 Sarah 8/12 Elias Wheeler was ALSO the SON OF ROBERT WHEELER AND MIRIAM PAYNE....so Joseph Anderson Wheeler was his brother.... making Eliza J. Wheeler and John Clark Wheeler first cousins. WHEW!!! this has been a long and interesting journey for me tonight..... i do so love a good challenge ! if i can help with anything else, just let me know !
