| Abstract | Corporate executive Lloyd Wheeler was born on August 26, 1907, in St. Joseph, Missouri. During his early childhood, Wheeler's mother, Madge, stayed home with the five Wheeler children while his father, Hiram, worked as a teacher. His family later moved to Urbana, Illinois, where he attended Lincoln Grade School and Urbana High School. Following graduation, Wheeler attended the University of Illinois in Chicago, receiving his B.S. accounting degree in 1932. Spending summer vacations from high school and college working in Chicago at the Liberty Supreme Life Insurance Company, Wheeler began his career with Liberty Supreme in 1923 as a mail boy. His sixty-eight year career there culminated with his appointment in 1980 as CEO. Wheeler served eleven and a half years as CEO, retiring in 1991. His tenure at the company was interrupted for a short time by service in the U.S. military during World War II. He passed away on April 30, 2005. |
