Notes
a. Note:   Gelaney Elizabeth Lowry was born 13 March 1863. She married Rev. John "Sam Houston" Wheeler. He was a Methodist preacher. The two had met "in Dahlgren when it used to be a big railroad town and he was a railroad engineer." They moved to Texas. Gelaney lived in "Dallas, Rosebud, Texas, Temple, and finally Houston, Texas. They supposedly had 15 children and the biggest house in town at Rosebud". The descendant only knows the names for the children listed on the 1900 census: Ed Houston, Roy Ransom, Leon, Emma Katherine, Laverta Elizabeth, Marvin Wheeler. The descendant didn't give me any dates for the children. She also said, "Gelaney was a Nurse Practioner and Midwife and served as the town doctor. Gelaney had a lot to do with adopted children, and they had fires in Dallas and a lot of records were lost. The older children I believe returned to Edgar/Coles County in Ilinois and are still there." Gelaney died in 1930 in Houston, TX.
