History of Caldwell and Livingston Counties, Missouri , Published 1886
"The business interests of this portion of the county are well represented by the subject of this sketch. Geo. W. Wingo, who has been located at this place long enough to become firmly established. Previously he had given his attention to both farming and blacksmithing, but mercantile life seemed to have a pecular attraction for him and his wisdom in embarking in it has been proven by his success in subquent years. The stock which he carries is well assorted one, sufficiently large for the patronage extended him, and selected with regards to the wants of the people. By birth Mr. Wingo is a Virginian, having been born in Giles County, of the Old Doninion, November 28, 1836. His parents were also natives of the same state and in 1844 took up their location in Livingston County, MO. Besides George W. they had five children: Mary, now Mrs. John O. Porterfield; John A.; Lena, wife of James Ramsey; Jennie, now Mrs. Jesse Davis; and James. The senior was a blacksmith by trade and during his life he devoted himself to that calling; he and his wife were both members of the M. E. Church South and he is still prominent in that denomination, but his corthy companion died in November, 1885. George W. Wingo in growing up was taught blacksmithing and became so familiar with it as an occupation that he followed it for a number of years. Then he began farming and met with fair success, continuing it until commencing as a merchant at Spring Hill, where his career since has been noted. July 5, 1855, he was united in marriage with Miss Martha J., daughter of John and Amanda Leeper, her father having been an early settler in this county and in his day prominently identified with merchandising. Their family numbered 10 children: Henry T.; James R.; Alice, now Mrs. Nova Patton; Cynthia A. , wife of Anderson Black; Daniel; Mary, Mrs. Daniel Williams; Elizabeth, Mrs. James Ramsey; Mr. and Mrs. Wingo have had six children: John E., born May J, 1856; Cora B., born March 25, 1858, now Mrs. Ed Shumate; Thomas R., born May 17, 1860; Nova W. born July 25, 1864; Walker W., born April 12, 1868; Daniel B., born November 28, 1872. Mr. Wingo and wife are members of the M. E. Church. He belongs to the Masonic Order and at present is master of Spring Hill Lodge No. 155."
