In 1871, Cyrus Wheat's son-in-law Z.T. Williams became a partner in Mr. Wheat's general store at Montpelier, and the firm operated as Wheat & Williams. Some twenty years later, Z.T. relinquished day to day involvement to devote his life to full time ministry, but he retained partnership until 1903 when he sold his one-half interest to his son Luther. After Cyrus' death in 1898, his second wife, Ellen Page Coffey Wheat, assumed silent partnership until Luther Williams bought her out about 1906.
The business maintained the Wheat & Williams name until Luther sold the firm in late 1917 or early 1918 in advance of moving to Cave City, a few months short of 50 years after his grandfather Cyrus Wheat's appointment as the Montpelier postmaster.
