Obituary
Dexter lost one of its old and respected residents Sunday in the death of Stephen Frank Wheeler which occurred at his home in the village at the age of nearly 75 years. Mr. Wheeler was a veteran of the Civil war and for many years resided on a farm on the Ridge, moving to the village several years ago. He was prominent in the work of the Free Baptist church and was a man who enjoyed the friendship of many. Besides a wife he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Seavey and Mrs. Knowles. A large number of the friends and relatives assembled at the Free Baptist church, Tuesday afternoon to pay their final tribute to the memory of one who was held in affection and high esteem by them. Comforting words were spoken by the pastor of the church, Rev. William Y. Morrison and the burial service of the Hiram F. Safford Post G. A. R. was read, Mr. Wheeler having been a member of this organization.
