"Rev. Isham Woodruff Wingo
Among the prominent representative members of this large family connection we would mention Rev. I. W. Wingo, well known to all the people of Spartanburg County, both as an educator of her young and as a minister of the gospel. He is the son of Paschal and Maiden (Foster) Wingo, and was born in Spartanburg County May 22d, 1850.
After attending the common schools of his neighborhood, he entered the Gowensville Seminary under Rev. T. J. Earle, where he remained three years. Afterwards he entered the Furman University at Greenville, S. C., where, after a course of three years, he was graduated. He then entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary while it was still located at Greenville, where he attended for several years and from which he was graduated.
His first pastorial work was at Pendleton, S. C., where he served from the latter part of 1877 to '81, serving, meanwhile, the church at Walhalla one year and also other churches in the surrounding county. He then went to Camden, S. C., and served the Baptist Church fifteen months, when he was called to the Baptist Church at Gaffney, S. C., where he remained nine years, leaving there in 1892. While at Gaffney, he served the Baptist Church at Limestone Springs part of his time, and taught mathematics in the Cooper Limestone Institute located at the latter place. From Gaffney he went to Ridge Spring, S. C., where he remained three years, during which time he was engaged in pastorial and ministerial work. In 1894 he removed to Campobello, S. C., when he opened up the present High School, which ranks among the best schools of our county, and which has had much to do with the upbuilding and business prosperity in that thriving town.
Mr. Wingo has rendered the county valuable service in developing and bringing to the notice of the public the valuable medicinal properties of the Chalybeate Sulphur Spring of Campbello, which has been known for fifty years or more to a few citizens. The constituent elements of the water from this spring, as analyzed, are carbonates and sulphates of lime, iron, soda and magnesia, a little sulphate of potash, silica, lithia, and carbonic acid gas. The spring is surrounded with a substantial brick wall and building overhead, and a handsome and well-equiped hotel has been erected near by, all due to the energy and perseverance of Mr. Wingo. Numerous testimonials can be produced as to the value and health-giving properties of this spring, which in the furure is destined to take its pplace as among the most popular summer resorts in the up-country of South Carolina. Mr. Wingo is rendering not only important service as an educator, but is also laboring earnestly and zealously as a minister of the gospel. He is at present pastor of Wellford, Friendship and other churches, and is doing a good work in the Masters vineyard.
In 1878 or '79 he married Miss Luld Dean, a graduate of the Spartanburg Female College. She is the only daughter of Dr. Thomas P. and Mrs. Mary (Davis) Dean. By this marriage he has had six children, Viz.: Mary Dean (deceased), Anna Lula, Joseph Paschal, Ruth Earle, Isham Dean, and William Wallace."
