Dr. Wing A Former Citizen, Dead Mrs. E. I. Wing, of St. Cloud, Florida, has written to Kincaid friends announcing the death of her husband Dr. H. E. Wing, which occurred at their home in St. Cloud, Nov. 30th. He died suddenly. The letter said that he got up in his usual health that day and went to hoe the garden. Some time afterwards he went to the house and told his wife that a sharp pain had struck him in the breast while hoeing. Shortly after telling Mrs. Wing of his affliction he started to wash his hands and in stooping to wash he cried out, "Oh, Oh, Oh!" and went and sat down, breaking out in a sweat and shaking like a leaf. Mrs. Wing then called a neighbor and they got him to bed. Mrs. Wing says: "I then found his left hand and left foot helpless, however, after awhile that trouble got better. He was not unconscious and did not want a doctor. However, I had a neighbor call a doctor. He told me that he had high blood pressure. I told him I thought he had a light stroke. He said, 'he did,' and he would send medicine immediately. "We gave him a capsule at 3:25 and the neighbor went home. I talked with him awhile and went into the kitchen. In a few minutes I heard a noise like a snore and went back into the room. He was gasping and unconscious. I called for help. A few more gasps and he was gone, five minutes to four. I am all alone once more." Dr. Wing and family came to Kincaid in the early '90's and were residents here for a number of years and two children, Matie and Gretta, are buried here. One day the doctor, without the knowledge of anyone, left Kincaid never to return. No one at least here, knows why he left. About two years ago he and his wife were united at Shawnee, Oklahoma, and after residing there about one year, moved to St. Cloud. The doctor was a well read man and a good physician, a good citizen, and was well liked. He is survived by his widow and one son, Harry, of Lansing, Kansas. The wife and son have the sympathy of their friends here.
