For several years her strength has been failing and much of the time she has been a great sufferer. But during it all she has been most patient and cheerful. She kept her interest in the affairs of the young people and in all of the busy life about her, even if she could not take a very active part. Her maiden name was Sarah Ward. She was born in New York state June 14, 1829, and was the youngest of six children. When a little girl her family moved to Vermont. September 20, 1847, she was married to Edward Wing. In 1855 they moved to Wisconsin. For a little over a year they resided in Evansville, where Mr. Wing worked at his trade of carpenter. He helped to erect the Congregational church, built the Nelson Winston house and worked on some of the older residences of the city. During the time his farm was being broken and a little home built on it near Brooklyn. There they moved and lived until Mr. Wing died 22 years ago, since which time Mrs. Wing and her daughter Miss Ada have lived in this city. The funeral was held at the home on First Street Tuesday afternoon, and the interment was in the family lot in the Brooklyn cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. D. Quincy Grabill. Mrs. Wing is survived by two daughters, Miss Ada Wing and Mrs. Willis Searles both of this city, and by one son, Allan Wing, of Britt, Iowa. She also leaves one brother, Chapman Ward of Benwick, Iowa.
