ALLAN GIVEN[S] WHEATON
Thirty-four years have come and gone since Allan Given[s] Wheaton established his home in Smartsville; and his labors have not only resulted in the attainment of well merited prosperity, but have also stimulated the mining industry of Yuba County, while at the same time he has made his influence felt as a beneficial factor for good in public affairs. He was born in Northfield, Rice County, Minn., October 16, 1866, a son of Charles A. and Martha Elizabeth (Wagner) Wheaton, the former a native of Syracuse, Onondaga County, N.Y., and the latter of St. Lawrence County, that State. The family removed to Minnesota in the forties. The father devoted his attention to journalism. They had a family of seventeen children and one of the sons came to California in 1854, sailing around Cape Horn. He entered the service of the Federal government and for over thirty years was head bookkeeper in the San Francisco mint.

Allan G. Wheaton was reared in his native county, and following his graduation from the Northfield High School he entered Carleton College, later becoming a law student in the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Before completing his course he went to Seattle, Wash., arriving in that city during the boom of 1187-88, and soon afterward came on to California. He remained for about three months in San Francisco and on January 31, 1880, located at Smartsville, where he has since resided. He has had experience in many lines of business and has found the occupation of mining a most congenial and fascinating one. For several years he has been identified with this industry, leasing a number of mines and also prospecting for himself. He is now leasing the world-famous Pat Campbell mine at Smartsville and successfully operates that property, having an expert knowledge of his occupation and utilizing the most modern methods in his work.

At Smartsville, on July 12, 1892, Mr. Wheaton was married to Miss Mary J. Fraser, a native of Nova Scotia, Canada, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Fraser, representatives of an old family of that province. She was but a year old when her parents came to California, settling at Mooney Flat, in Nevada County, where the father engaged in mining throughout the remainder of his life. Mrs. Wheaton acquired her education in Smartsville and has become the mother of nine children, but the youngest, Florence, died when a year old. Those living are: Emma Annabel, Robert Daniel, Mabel May, Martha Elizabeth, Allan Wallace, Viola Rosalie, James Augustus and Evelyn Mildred. The eldest daughter married A.D. Fippin, of Smartsville, and they have had six children: Julia May, Robert Lelland, John Allan, deceased, Nellie Marie, Eleanor Imogene and Imogene. Mabel May Wheaton is the wife of A.E. McCrea, residing at Rough and Ready, in Nevada County, and they have four children: Arthur, Eileen Rosalie, Anna May, and Alberta. Martha Elizabeth Wheaton married A.E. Spencer, of Mooney Flat, and they have a family of four children: Carl Allan, Robert, Vinton and Arthur Leroy. Viola Rosalie married, on November 25, 1923, E.L. Craun, of Grand Junction, Colo., who is at present engaged as a civil engineer for the State Highway Commission of California.

Mr. Wheaton is a Republican and his public spirit has found expression in effective efforts for the general good. In 1904 he was elected supervisor of the Smartsville district of Yuba County and filled that office for four years. He was formerly a member of the board of trustees of the Smartsville school district, and is now serving as a notary public. Fraternally, he is identified with the Masonic order, belonging to Rose Bar Lodge, No. 89, F.&A.M., of which he is a Past Master. He is an earnest worker for the good of his community and his name is prominent among those who are active in pushing forward the wheels of progress in Smartsville.
