LAND PATENT was issued to George Strong by President John Tyler under Pre-emption Certificate No. 7597 on March 10, 1843. This gave Strong all the rights normally transferred to the buyer when a piece of property is purchased today.

FIRST VETERINARIAN in Wheeling was Dr. George J. Schneider, pictured here with his chickens. He came from Alsace Lorraine in 1853. His wife Maria managed their farm land which included the area where the Shadow Bend development is now.
