WHEELER,S ROMANCE.
Risked Life Visiting Future Wife
While Fighting FederaIS.

New Orleans. Jan. 2S-The death Of General
Joe Wheeler has recalled TO the minds Of
number of New-Orleans people the romantic
story Of his courtshiD in Alabama.
1t was in the early years Of the war. General
Wheeler had been harrying the federal troops
near Chattanooga and had managed to cut off
their supplies. During part Of this campaign
he made his home on the Jones estate, in North
ern Alabama. There he met Mrs. Ella Sherrod,
the daughter of Colonel Jones' a well known
steamboat man of ante-benum days Colonel
Jones was away at the war. Mrs. Sherrods
husband had died, and she was left alone on the
plantation with her crippled son and invalid
mother. General Wheeler fell deeply in love
and often slipped away from his command TO
spend a few. hours with Mrs Sherrod although
the trips were made at the risk of mis- life.
Finally the federal troops burned every build
ing on the plantation, and Mrs. SherrOd carried
her mother from the burning house al midnight.
General Wheeler drove the federal troops COM
pletely out of the neighbOrhOOd At the close Of
the war Mrs. SherrOd consented TO become Mrs.
Wheeler.
