Joseph Pearce Wheless Jan 1, 1867 Aug 28, 1944 -------------- Beulah Bliss Wheless Nov 4, 1866 Oct 11, 1945 Last week's Tombstone Tuesday was about Gertrude Bliss McMillan . This week, we are discussing Gertrude's sister, Beulah Bliss Wheless. As a reminder, Beulah (as well as Gertrude) was the daughter of James S. and Julia C. Bliss. Beulah married Joseph Pearce Wheless, a railway store keeper, about 1892. They had at least four children: Bessie, Gertrude, Pearce, and Catherine. Beulah and Joseph's tombstone is just behind and to the left of Gertrude Bliss McMillan's stone in Bonaventure Cemetery ; Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. Just farther to the left of Beulah and Joseph's is a tombstone for two of their children: Pearce Wheless Sept 21, 1892 May 24, 1895 -------------- Catherine Wheless June 28, 1904 Oct 23, 1906
