Maria Reynolds was born in Clifton, Buckinghamshire, England, January 15, 1823. She died January 20, 1917, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Leslie F. Randolph, at Braden, Colo.She came to America in 1849 and spent the winter in New Jersey, and in Philadelphia, Pa. The next spring she came west with friends to Farmington, Ill., where she was married to Joshua Wheeler, August 20, 1850.After living at Farmington seven years, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler and two children, Charley and Addie, came to Kansas in company with Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Petty and two children, Hannah and Truman, Deacon Dennis Saunders and wife and daughter Chrysanthia, and Mrs. Anna Buten and two children, Charley and Alma. At that time the site of Nortonville, Kan., and the surrounding country was open prairie, and this company of people took up homesteads about three miles north of the present town of Nortonville on what is widely known as 'Seventh Day Lane.'Mrs. Wheeler was baptized and received into the Pardee (now Nortonville) Seventh Day Baptist Church by the first pastor, Elder A. A. F. Randolph. She has lived a faithful Christian life and has been one of those pioneers who shaped the early history of Kansas. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, two of whom died in infancy. The recently lamented C. G. Wheeler, and Mrs. Addie Randolph, of Brandon, Colo., have tenderly cared for their mother for the past twenty years, since the death of her husband. The body was brought to Nortonville, where a funeral service was conducted by Pastor James L. Skaggs. Interment was made in the family lot in the Nortonville Cemetery. J. L. S.
