Myrle Wayne Wheelock, nickname "Lefty" was born 13 Aug 1903 in Beresford, S.D. to Julian Elbert Wheelock (1874-1939) & Bertha Goltry (1880-1952).
I had the most wonderful search angel help me with my DNA connection to find my grandfather who I have been searching for since 1989. I had already found my biological grandmother through a adoption match before DNA and before computers. When my grandmother died in 1989 she told her daughters she had a son in Hills, MN where her parents sent her to have her baby and she put him up for adoption in 17th of July 1932 at Children's Home Society of Sioux Falls, S.D.
Here's Myrle & my dad next to each other I see a resemblance do you?

His adoption papers, My dad always knew he was adopted, his parents never kept it from and when he was of age he got these papers, along with his birth certificate which listed his biological mother on it. Dorothy Peters. As my father is still alive at age 91 I will not post his birth certificate.
My biological Great Aunt Catherine told me that the roomer was that she was seeing a truck driver. She was waitress at the local diner her senior year 1932. (My grandmother would not talk about the baby she gave up or the father of the baby.)

Some of our ancestors do leave us some complicated knots to untangle, don't they? You've done a fine job of untangling this story so far. I've had some law enforcement training, too, and yes, genealogy is very much detective work.
