Wheeler Park Donor
Honored By Buckson

About 10 years ago William A.
Wheeler, then working for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, decided to
clear away a little picnic section
in a woods he owned
He cleared the space and put up
a picnic table The woods is just
outside Harrington.
The next Sunday he went to
use the table and found someone
else there.
Not one to be unneighborly, Mr..
Wheeler went ahead a few days
later and put up a second picnic
bench
But the first time he went to
use it he found this table was also
being used
At this point, Mr.. Wheeler
thought: IF people like a picnic
spot so much, I'll build a little
park
In the intervening years, he has
done just that, to the point that
$4,000 people visited the 25-acre
Wheeler's Park last spring and
summer.
