December 20, 1868, he was united in marriage with Miss Electa Sandford, who was born in Defiance county, Ohio, December 17, 1849, a daughter of John and Electa (Cassady) Sandford. John Sandford was born in Tompkins county, N. Y., in February, 1803, and was one of the earliest settlers of Defiance county, Ohio. He was married in Seneca county, Ohio, and became the father of eleven children, viz: Jane, Rebecca, John, Eliza, Volney, Susan, Andrew J., Lewis C., Frank, Electa and Samuel. The mother of this large family died in September, 1850, and the father, who had served as commissioner of Defiance county, passed away March 7, 1882. The father of Mrs. Sandford, and the grandfather of Mrs. Wing, also named John, married Miss Elizabeth Miller, and both these lived all their days in the Empire state—highly respected people. To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Wing have been born the following family: James D., John S., Lewis F. (deceased), William A., Cora E., Delford A., Gracie E. (deceased), Electa E., .Missouri J., Mary E. (deceased), Frank (deceased) and Lucy F. Since his marriage Mr. Wing has lived on various farms but never outside of Putnam county.
... In 1890 Mr. Wing settled on his present farm of 175 acres, but which then had no house upon it. His intention, however, is to build a dwelling in the modern style and of some pretentions, with out-buildings to match. The soil of this farm is rich and fertile, and Mr. Wing has not failed to avail himself of this fact.
