"Im only 86 years old this year, he continued, being born in 1892, one year after my father, Thomas Bristow Wheelwright, founded the Wheelwright firm. Father was born December 26, the day after Christmas, in 1869, son of and B. Matthew Wheelwright Catherine E. Farrer, and was a real Christmas present to Ogden and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Da- y Saints, a religion which he lived sincerely.

Stewart; ordained a deacon March 22, 1886, by Thomas J. Stevens, and an elder, ordained Feb. 8, 1891, by Thomas J. Stevens, and ordained a Seventy on Jan. 12,1900.

Father helped many families during the Great Depression which followed the crash in Wall Street in 1909 and continued in the 1930s, and it is written about him and his modesty: This church worker is a modest man - who does not let his left hand know what his right hand doeth.
