Wheeler, 65, justice of the peace for the Aloha district and prominent county resident, died sud denly at 10 o’clock Sunday night at his home at Aloha of heart failure. His death comes as a shock to his many friends. Funeral services were held yesterday (Wednesday) after noon at the community church at Aloha and interment was in the Hillsboro cemetery. The Aloha community was former ly called Wheeler, nkmed after the judge, who owned at one time the greater part of the property in the community. Because another com munity in Tillamook county had the same name, it was changed to avoid confusion. Judge Wheeler resided at Aloha the greater part of his life and dur ing his residence there was active in the affairs of the county. He served on the election board many years and since 1918 has served on the official election canvassing board for the county.
