Connection with Charlie Wheeler, the man who baptized Gus Nichols.

Bro. Charlie Wheeler's parents are buried at Lone Oak Church of Christ Cemetery, Lowndes County, MS. A number of Wheelers settled in Lone Oak Community and Bro. Charlie baptized them and founded the Lone Oak Church of Christ, which is one of the oldest congregations in the state. One of these Wheelers was my g-grandmother Hessiah Octavia Wheeler who was married to William Andrew Mason. My father was an Elder of the Lone Oak congregation for over 30 years.
