and Cura had a general store, and ran the Rockview Post Office
in the 1920's. C.C. also farmed, worked at logging, and other
things. I think he lived up to his name; he was an explorer at
heart.
When C.C. and Cura went to california during the depression,
they started by doing field work on farms. After a while they
started a roadside stand, and then a store and filling station.
During the war C.C. worked in shipyards.

CITY MAN AMONG ILL-FATED AMERICANS ON WAKE ISLAND
Raymond H. Wheeler With Contracting Firm At Base
One of the U. S. civillian workers at Wake island from
whom no word has been received since the Japanese seized the
island is Raymond H. Wheeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Wheeler, of 629 H St. Young Mr. Wheeler went to the island
last March to manage the Pacific Naval Base Contractors'
canteen. His parents received a letter from him on Nov. 14
telling of the progress in the development of the Wake naval
base, and shortly before Christmas received Christmas cards
from him. No other contact with the San Bernardino youth has
been made. The fate of the garrison of some 400 marines and a
large number of civilians on the island at the time it fell to
the Japanese on Dec. 22 is unknown. The last reports received
by the navy were on Dec. 20 when the marine defenders reported
that they had sunk a Japanese destroyer and a gunboat off the
shores of the tiny island.
