    "Darius Wheeler, born in Newfane, Vt., March 8, 1801, moved with his father and family in 1813 or 1814 to Hoosick, N.Y., thence to Greene, N.Y., in 1819, and finally to Genesee flats in Nunda (now Hume), Allegany county, in 1820, where his parents spent the remainder of their lives. In the fall of 1831, with his brother-in-law, Elijah Elmer, he came to Portville on a tour of observation. In 1832, he settled here permanently. Messrs. Wheeler and Elmer purchased of Griswold Warner a saw-mill on the site of Mersereau & Co.'s mills, and a large tract of timber land, and Mr. Wheeler was an extensive lumberman in the firms of Wheeler & Elmer, Wheeler & Smith, and Wheeler & Holly until 1850, when he sold to Weston, Mersereau & Co. and afterward gave his attention to farming. He died Nov. 6, 1877. He served as assessor and was otherwise prominent in town affairs. He married Isabel Jacobs, Jan. 6, 1834, who died in 1883. Children: Franklin, born Dec. 6, 1834; Ruth (Mrs. Frank Bell), born Jan. 21, 1837; Samuel J., born June 1, 1842; and Augustus H., born July 20, 1846."
