History of Manistee, Mason & Oceana Counties, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

         [pg 66]

         A. O. WHEELER was born in New Marlborough, Mass., in 1845.
       When ten years of age, his parents removed to Chicago. In 1866
       he came to Manistee on a visit, and while here made arrangements
       to go into the store of CANFIELD & SECOR for a time. He remained
       there a few months, and then received an appointment to superin-
       tend the harbor improvements. In 1866 the CANFIELD Tug Line
       was started, and MR. WHEELER became its manager. After a time
       he became part owner, and at the present time is principal owner
       of the line. He is also a member of the firm of WHEELER, JOHNSON
       & Co., proprietors of the machine shops. MR. WHEELER has been a
       very successful business man, and has become one of the strong
       capitalists of the city. His family residence, built in 1879,
       is one of the finest in the city. His family consists of a wife
       and three children. He has recently received the nomination of
       the Republican party of the county for state representative.
