Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. John McComb (Nettie L.'s maternal grandparents). On March 3, 1865 she married Augarca DeForest Wheeler and they became parents of seven children, William A., Emma, Minnie, Nettie, Annie, Louis A. and Grace L.. <br /><br />Louis A. Wheeler was a relative. :)<br /><br />Mrs. Wheeler was primarily a housewife and mother. She purchased the business of making hairpieces, or switches as they were called from a lady who was retiring. She continued making switches and hair pieces for ladies in Red Oak and surrounding territory, in her home, until her death May 8, 1924. Amanda was the only one in this business at the time and the quality of her workmanship was well known. If at all possible, every lady brought her hair-combings to be made into a switch or hair piece. These were an important part of a ladies appearance.<br /><br />- source - http://iagenweb.org/montgomery/bios/women/womenp-w.htmIntense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-88314395524449706812011-01-10T22:47:16.551-06:002011-01-10T22:47:16.551-06:00Cabinet Parts, Nettie was a common name back then....Cabinet Parts, Nettie was a common name back then.

They were married on 27 May 1891 in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie, Iowa.<br /><br />There is more than Louis Wheeler in the area at the time of this collection. I suspect Louis F. Wheeler (b. Sep 1864) husband of Sarah E. (b. May 1854).<br /><br />David Brotchie married a Mabel G. Lewis (b. 1862) on 28 May 1885 in Oakland, Iowa (which is 9 miles "up the road" from Macedonia). Schoolmates? other relation? not the right Mabel? :)<br /><br />I have found other sources that say Gertrude married a J. M. Pardee?

I do hope you can trace the family; it was such a rewarding project for me to do. You say there were 19 photos in slots and 23 others loose?

He is listed with wife, and daughters Gertie C. (1869-1870) and Nettie L. (1871) in the 1880 US census living in Grove, Pottawattamie, Iowa.<br /><br />I suspect Aunt Gertie is Nettie's sister. Nettie married Welsey Park and it appears Gertie married a William Jno.
