Gordon McA. Winges died November 25 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William H. Dennis, near MacBeth, Berkeley county. In the death of Gordon Winges, the State loses a loyal, faithful citizen, whose death deserves more than passing notice.
Born in Camden in 1849, his parents moved with him while he was yet a lad to Charleston , where he lived till the beginnings of the War Between the Sections. Though he was a mere boy, the last year of the war found him at Florence , assisting and older brother in guarding Federal prisoners. In 1875 he was married to Miss Eliza Weeks of Berkeley county, who preceded him to the grave by just 11 months. A few years after his marriage he moved with his family to Gainesville , Fla. , where he lived till 1898, when he returned to his beloved State and located in Berkeley county, where he lived to the time of his death.
In Gainesville , Fla. , he held several positions of honor and trust, being for several years deputy sheriff, and at another time assistant clerk of Alachua county court. By his fearless and faithful performance of his sometimes onerous duties, he won the esteem and respect of the best citizens. For the past 12 or 15 years he had been in very poor health, but throughout all he was an affectionate father and husband, a good neighbor and a citizen ever ready to serve his State to the best of his ability. He leaves two daughters, Miss Charlotte Winges and Mrs. Edna Winges Dennis, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn him.Source: The State (South Carolina) – 7 Dec. 1916 ; transcribed by Marla Zwakman
