There were two persons, father and son, named Wheeler, but I do not know the forename of either. The father used to paint animals, principally horses for the Duke of Beaufort possibly the grandfather of the present Duke. His son also painted. I have now the paintings of two horses and a cow. The father acquired some reputation for his work and the son had similar skill or talent, but I think he died as young man, and from the date named it is the son now mentioned.—Observer.
