| Samuel Joseph Wing died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Wing Jacobs, at Sugar City, Idaho,
Jan. 23, 1918, from the result of a paralytic stroke sustained some weeks
before. He had made his home with Mrs. Jacobs for about a year before
death. The deceased was born in Illinois, Aug. 13, 1842, and in 1860
married Elizabeth Jane Wright, who bore him seven children, five of whom
are living. In 1861 he was baptized in the church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, and in 1862 came to Utah, first settling at Draper,
where he taught school for some years. In 1875 he went to Heber,
where he taught school and also music. His wife died soon after coming
to Heber. He had four other wives all of whom have passed away, and
he also had three other children from these marriages. For fourteen
years he was state superintendent of Sunday Schools. He went to Canada
in 1900 but returned to Utah in 1913, thereafter making his home with his
married daughters in Utah and Idaho. Accompanied by most of his children,
his body was brought to Heber for burial. The funeral services were
held in the state tabernacle, which was well filled with friends an relatives.
Councilor F. W. Giles of the Third Ward conducted the services, the singing
was by the Third Ward choir, W. A. Daybell offered the prayer, R. S. Duke,
A. G. Duke, J. C. Jensen, and Samuel J. Nichols (a grandson) spoke, and
George Smith gave the benediction. Many beautiful flowers, token
of love from friends, were in evidence. Samuel Joseph Wing was the
son of Matthias and Elizabeth M. (Chenoweth) Wing (Joseph, Giles, Joseph,
Matthew, Stephen, Rev. John, Matthew). A Complete bigraphical sketch
appeared at page 1175 and his portrait with that of three brothers appeared
as a frontis piece in the June 1913, number of The Owl. |
