Death of George R. Wheeler

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 29. George R. Wheeler, buyer for J. E. Caldwell & Co., died at the Hahnemann Hospital last night from shock following an operation for a cancerous growth in the stomach. Mr. Wheeler had been ailing for over a year past, and though his death was not unexpected it was a shock to a host of friends in the trade. He was removed to the hospital from his home in Germantown Thursday, and it was determined to perform an operation as a last recourse to save his life.

Mr. Wheeler had been in the employ of J.E. Caldwell & Co. for over 20 years. For the past 12 years he occupied the position of buyer of electro plated ware, leather goods and silverware. He was popular throughout the trade and was highly thought of by his employers. He was a prominent and active member of the Jewelers’ League. He is survived by a widow, a daughter of Judge Briggs, of New York, and two children.

The funeral will be held Wednesday from his late home, and will be attended by a number of the employes of J. E. Caldwell & Co. and other jewelers. A meeting will be held by the salesmen of the firm to adopt suitable resolutions of regret, which will be engrossed and presented to Mrs. Wheeler.
