According to his obituary found on the obituary page of the Johnson County Historical & Genealogical Society's website:

     "At 1:30 a.m. on November 24, 1945, death visited and touched the tired heart of George P. Wynn. He was born in Magoffin County on March 22nd, 1877. At the time of his death, he was 68 years, 8 months and 2 days old. His father and mother and three brothers preceded him in death. His boyhood was spent in Johnson County, and at the age of 21, he answered the call of his country and served in the United States army from June 1888 to May 1899 with Company M 3rd Ky Regt. After receiving an honorable discharge from the army, he was married to Della Cheek, of Johnson County, on May 30, 1899 and to this union were born eight children, all of whom are living; namely: Mrs. Howard Cypher, Portsmouth, Ohio; Mrs. Sherman Wheeler, Ashland, Ky.; Mrs. H.C. Moon, Beaver, Ohio; Mrs. Wilbur Pendleton, Portsmouth, Ohio; Robert Wynn, Portsmouth, Ohio; Mrs Wonnie Trimble, Ashland, Ky; Carl Wynn, Ashland, Ky; Herman Wynn, Portsmouth, Ohio. In addition to the above named children, he leaves his widow, 24 grandchildren, a brother, Frank Cantrell, Portsmouth, O., and two sisters, Mrs. W., J. Robinson, Wheelersburg, O., and Mrs. L.G. Emswiller, New Boston, O., and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He was for several years engaged in farming in Johnson county, and in 1929, he moved to Ohio and continued the business of farming until 1935 at which time, due to failing health, he retired. In 1943, he moved from Pike County, Ohio to Ashland, Kentucky where he lived until November 22nd, 1945, at which time he moved to Portsmouth, Ohio and only two days later, the grim reaper called him to his eternal home. His leaving will be keenly felt by those of us who were thrown nearest to him, through business, fraternal, social and Church relations, and also by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Throughout his entire life, he loved and respected people, and expressed special love and respect for the church and church people. He for several years had been seeking the Lord and in August of 1944, he was converted and baptized in September 1944, and took his membership with the United Baptist Church and lived a faithful and devout Christian life. To this meager outline, there can be added a further statement, that he was a man of many friends and that was generous, kind, and tolerant. In his passing, his wife has lost a loving companion and his children a faithful father."

    The children of ELLA WINN and SHERMAN WHEELER are:

    1. MYRTLE VERTRICE WHEELER, b. December 27, 1921, Johnson County, Kentucky, d. October 14, 1935, Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky, buried in Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky.
      Notes: According to Kentucky birth record transcripts, Myrtle V. Wheeler was born December 27, 1921 in Johnson County to Ella Winn.
      According to her death certificate, Myrtle Vertrese Wheeler died October 14, 1935 in Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky, from paratyphoid A & B and toxemia. Also on this certificate, her birthplace is listed as Johnson County, her birth date as December 27, 1921, her parents as Sherman Wheeler (b. Morgan County) and Ella Winn (b. Johnson County), the informant as Sherman Wheeler of Paintsville, and the burial place as Paintsville.
      According to her obituary from October 17, 1935 (Taken from the obituary page of the The Johnson County Historical & Genealogical Society's website.), "Miss Vertrice Wheeler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Wheeler succumbed at 3:00 a.m., Monday, October 14 1935. She was the victim of an attack of paratyphoid which, although it resembles typhoid clinically is caused by an entirely different organism. Miss Wheeler's death was due to the paratyphoid bacillus "B" which is much more severe than the "A" type of that organism. Miss Wheeler had been ill for about a period of two weeks and it had seemed to attending physicians that she had improved a great deal up until Sunday when she took a sudden turn for the worse. Mr. Wheeler immediately summoned Dr. Walter E. Vest, internal medicine specialist of Huntington, W. Va., who promptly left for Paintsville. After a conference with attending physicians all measures that were possible were taken to safeguard her life, but she declined steadily and died Monday morning at 3:00 o'clock. It is thought that Miss Wheeler contracted the disease from water which she drank in Ohio. In company with her parents she had attended the United Baptist Association held there a short time ago. Specimens of the water used there have been submitted for bacteriological examination. A pall of gloom has fallen over the entire community, and more especially in the city schools where her loss will be most keenly felt. Beautiful floral offerings from her schoolmates have been received as a last tribute to their friend and playmate. Miss Wheeler, who was in the first year of high school in the Paintsville City Schools was well liked by all who knew her. She was exceptionally intelligent and was actively engaged in extra-curricular activities as well as being a model student in her school work. This was an extraordinary achievement considering the fact that she had only recently recovered from an appendectomy complicated by an almost fatal attack of peritonitis. It is believed that her system was left in a weakened condition from this attack and could not withstand the added strain of the paratyphoid infection. Citizens of Paintsville today mourn the loss of a comrade, a playmate, and a friend. The funeral services will be held Wednesday (today) at the Paintsville United Baptist Church at 1:30 with the Reverend Guy W. Preston and Reverend Alonzo Wright in charge. Miss Wheeler is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Wheeler of this city; four sisters, Gertrude, Anna Beatrice, Della Elizabeth and Hermalee, and one brother, Charles Sherman. Interment will be in the Mayo Cemetery in Paintsville."
      According to her obituary from October 13, 1935, "The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Wheeler about 2:30 o'clock Monday morning, October 14, 1935, and took from their daughter, Myrtle Vertrice. Vertrice had been confined to her room with typhoid fever for several days but her condition was not considered serious until last Sunday morning. During the day her condition changed so rapidly that the family became alarmed and, by permission of their efficient family physician, Dr. D. H. Daniel, they called Dr. Vest, a specialist of the C. & O. Hospital at Huntington, West Virginia, but it appeared that medical science could not contribute further to relieve her condition. Two nurses were at her bedside practically all the time up until her death. Nothing was left undone by the family and by her physicians to relieve her of her suffering, but it appeared that the Chief Physician of us all had registered his call for Vertrice and human hands and medical science could not prevent her answering the call. Vertrice was born December 27, 1921, and died October 14, 1935. At the time of her death, she was thirteen years, nine months, and seventeen days old. She was just blooming into young womanhood with her entire future before her when the grim reaper, in the very morning of her life, took his cycle and reaped his harvest. Vertrice was converted and joined the United Baptist Church on January 27, 1935, and lived a devoted and consecrated Christian from the date of her conversion until she was taken by death. It is said that she got more enjoyment from her church affiliations than from any other phase of life. She not only attended services at her own church here, but she accompanied her father and mother to other churches in the country and recently attended the United Baptist Association at Beaver, Ohio. Seldom have girls of her age manifested so much interest in church work for the short time she was a member. She not only professed Christianity but she lived it each day. Her life and the Christian example set by her are well worth while for both young and old to follow. She not only lived her religion but she died in the faith, apparently fearless of death. Vertrice was a freshman in the Paintsville High School where she was loved by all the teachers as well as the student body. Her going has been a distinct shock to the teachers and students as has been clearly evidenced since her death. She quietly and unhesitatingly laid down the burden of life and met her Savior with a smile. Her life and her passing must have been the character the great poet had in mind when he wrote these lines: "So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." This is the way Vertrice made her departure. She leaves to mourn her passing her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Wheeler, and four sisters, Gertrude, Anna Beatrice, Della Elizabeth, and Herma Lee, and a baby brother, Charles Sherman. She had a sister, Gladys Jewel, to precede her in death several years ago. In addition to the members of the family named, she leaves a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her passing."
