REGINALD D. WING
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 7 April 1921]
The death occurred on Tuesday, April 5th, of Reginald D. Wing, at 360 North Main street, in his eightieth year. Deceased was born in Leicester, England, on September 16th, 1841, and was the son of the late John Wing, vicar of St. Mary’s Parish, Leicester. He came to America in 1860, and was married in Baltimore, USA, in 1868. He came to Canada from Buffalo ten years ago, and has remained in Welland ever since. Besides a grieving widow, Mr. Wing is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Arthur E. Dawdy, of Welland, and two grandchildren.
The late Mr. Wing was for twenty-five years an employee of the New York Central Railway, of which railway he was, until his demise, a pensioner.
In his early days his love for travel led him to service on the sea, and in due course he served as a midshipman and travelled to the East Indies and many other distant places.
Deceased was very fond of children, and a man of affable manners, as many friends can testify. He was also a charter member and pastmaster of Niagara River Masonic Lodge, of Niagara Falls, N.Y.
The funeral will be held tomorrow from his late residence, and will be in charge of Niagara River Masonic Lodge. Interment will be made at Woodlawn.
