He located at his late home in the year 1880 and by untiring effort and economy has made a very pleasant home for himself and family, where once was the wild prairie. Mr. Wing was a kind husband and father, and a good citizen and neighbor. He will be greatly missed by his family, and that they have the sympathy of their many friends was apparent by the very large attendance at the funeral services, something over 300 people being present. Rev. Veile preached the funeral sermon on this subjet: Acquaint thy self with God, and gave on of the best talks we have heard for years. The remains were interred in the Connelly cemetery.
