Wehle was born in Westport, Connecticut and raised in Norwalk. He graduated from Norwalk High School in 1924 and attended West Point. As CG MDW, he helped plan three state funerals, all of which happened within a span of 12 months:
Presidents:
John F. Kennedy (November 1963)
Herbert Hoover (October 1964)
All three state funerals General Wehle helped plan had one thing in common: the riderless horse was Black Jack.
Black Jack would be the riderless horse in one more state funeral: that of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1973.
