"Please allow me a little space in your valuable paper to make a little mention of the death of our beloved brother, A. J. wingo, who died last Sunday, 15th inst., near Campobello and was interred in the cemetery at Mt. Zion Monday at 2:20 o'clock. the writer can say of Mr. Wingo that he was a gentleman and true Christian, also a good counseler for young men, and was worthy of imitation. Mr. Wingo was the last of eight sons of the late John and Cinthia Wood Wingo. These eight, namely, Hamilton, Calvin, Franklin, Wiley, Jackson, Lewis, and Memory Wingo [sic -- only seven listed] all entered the Confederate army and served their country faithfully during its existance and all survived to return to their homes after its close. Jackson Wingo married Margaret McMakin, who survives him. C. A. Wingo, Roebuck, SC"
