FAG member Cherie Officer has found William's obit in The Olean (NY) Democrat, Thursday, May 2, 1892 Page 5. His obit is much more fitting than anything I can do or go to www.portvillehistory.org to read a complete bio. taken from Lyman, Horton & Co's (limited) Historical Gazetteer & Biographical Memorials of Cattaraugus County, Ed. by, Wm. Adams, 1893, PP 1021-1024(the sketch was written by his daughter, Miss Lilla C. Wheeler). He was a remarkable man and one of the pioneer leaders of the Portville community.
NOTE: Some researchers feel his middle name was France. I have changed it a couple of times now from France to French and back to France. Most sources show French, including the Portville Historical and Preservation Society and I am going to leave it, once and for all as, French.
