OBITUARY-

Richard B. Wing, son of Archibald and Grace Wing, was born in New York state 
April 6, 1855, and died near Andrew, Iowa, October 30, 1917, aged sixty-two 
years, six months and twenty-four days. When eleven years old he came with his 
parents to Iowa. They settled on a farm east of Maquoketa where Richard grew 
to manhood. November 28, 1887, he was united in marriage to Emma Briggs. They 
followed farming until about six years ago when they moved to Maquoketa. 
Eleven children were born to them, all of whom are living and all present 
today except Edwin of California. The children are: Albert, Arthur, Ira, Mrs. 
Anna Wing of Preston, Edwin of California, Henry,, Wilmer, Grace, Gladys, 
Vernard and Dale. All but two live in or near Maquoketa. Mr. Wing’s health 
began to fail about four years ago. Through all these years his faithful wife 
has been his constant companion and helper. Mr. Wing spent his life in this 
community and has always lived an upright life. He was a kind father and 
loving husband and had great reasons to be proud of his family. This large 
family of children will surely be a great comfort to the bereaved wife and 
mother and be able to minister to her needs and fill her days with the well-
earned comforts of life. The love and sympathy of friends and neighbors is 
hereby extended to the family in their sorrow. A short service will be held at 
the late home in the First ward Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, funeral service 
at the M. E. Church at 2:30, Rev. J. J. Kidder officiating. Interment will be 
made in Mt. Hope cemetery.
