William Vincent Wheeler born in West Elkton, Ohio in 1845 was a soldier in the 9th Indiana Calvary during the American Civil War.

At the age of 18, he enlisted in the 9th Indiana Calvary to fight in the Civil War. During his three years of service he took part in the battles of Spring Hill, Nashville, and Franklin, and traveled as far as south as Mississippi Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
