Rev. William Neil Campbell Wheeler, died Jan. 6th, 



1907, aged 50. Buried at Christ Church, Bradford-on-Avon. Son of 

 Kev. Thomas Wheeler, formerly Chaplain in the Mauritius (where Mr. 

 Wheeler was born) and Kector of St. Stephen's, Salford, Manchester. 

 Born July 29th, 1856. Educated at Rossall School and King's Coll., 

 Camb. B.A., 1879, M.A. 1884. Deacon, 1880; priest, 1881 (Sarum). 

 Curate of Parish Church, Bradford-on-Avon, 1880—86; and of Christ 

 Church, Bradford-on-Avon, 1896- 1905. A man of great activity and 

 power of work, he was prominently connected with almost every in- 

 stitution in the town of Bradford. A leading Freemason, a member of 

 the urban council for the last three years, chairman of the committee of 

 the horticultural show, he was to the front in everything connected with 

 the life of the place. But it was as a footballer that " Parson Wheeler " 

 was best known outside Bradford and in every part of the county of 

 Wilts. He was secretary of the county association for over ten years, 

 and it was largely to his untiring efforts that that association holds the 

 position it does to-day. That fact was recognised when, on December 

 13th, 1906, the footballers of the county presented him with a handsome 

 testimonial. He was the first and only representative the county has 

 had on the English Football Association Council. Footballers through- 

 out the county were mourning for him on the Saturday succeeding his 

 death, and his funeral was the occasion of a great demonstration of 

 respect on the part of the town, and was largely attended by representa- 

 tives of football clubs, and of many public bodies.
