Obituary Text
     (Benjamin Franklin Wing, died at the home of his son, Frank B. Wing at Abbottsford, Wisconsin, after a breif illness, June 5, 1911. His remains were brought to Whitehall June 7, and services were held at the home of his son, Albert E., being conducted, by the Rev. S. Batchelor, interment following in Lincoln Cemetery.)
  The Whitehall Time-Banner thus speaks of him: "At Old Whitehall Mr. Wing was engaged in several branches of business, including Mercantile, farming, grain buying, carpentering and wagon repairing. He was for several years general business man of the place. When the railroad was built and whitehall started he came here, engaging off and on in different lines of business. He owned and conducted the american hotel at one time, and during the vicissitudes of the Trempealeau County Messenger, Whitehall's first newspaper, he owned it practically. He also owned the big farm on which the county asylum Stands. He established his sons Albert and Frank in business and of later years he took life easy, spending much of his time with his children. Deceased was a man of much business ability and reliable in bargaining with his fellow man. He entered with zest and energy into everything he undertook, and was a genial friend and kind neighbor. For some years he had been deprived of his hearing and many of his friends were deprived of his society by reason of his misfortune. Deceased will be missed by his pioneer friends in this valley who many times profited by his kindly advice cheerfully given during his long residence among them.
