Pioneer Of Territorial Days In Arizona Dies
R.J. Albert Wingar, former Arizona Wells-Fargo agent in territorial days and a pioneer in several fields, died Tuesday in his home, 725 West Lynwood street, after a long illness. He was 71 years old.
He had been suffering of a heart ailment for three years, but had been more seriously ill only the past five months.
In trail-blazing days he was an important factor in the development of the Mesa district. In the many years of his Arizona residence, Bert Wingar won the friendship of a host of Arizonians prominent in many activities.
Born In Illinois
He was born in Metamora, Ill., the son of the Rev. J.J. and Margaret Wingar. HE came to Arizona first in 1877, settling initially in the Verde valley.
The Rev. Mr. Wingar followed his son to Arizona three years later, going to Globe where he built the first Methodist church in 1880. He made a census of the Apache Indians for the federal government.
Bert Wingar later settled in Tempe attending the first class of the then Tempe Normal School, now the Arizona State Teachers College at Tempe. He married Elisabeth Hall of Willcox and they settled in Mesa.
Interested In Mining
As Wells-Fargo agent with headquarters in Mesa, Mr. Wingar handled most of the express shipments of gold from the Goldfield mine. He continued his interest in mining through the remainder of his life, being a partner of Jack J. Fraser in prospecting expeditions and mining ventures from 1912 to 1916 and from 1932 to 1940.
Also while he was Wells-Fargo agent at Mesa, he was credited with a major part in developing the cantaloupes and dairy products industries. He was responsible for the building in Mesa of Mesa's first ice plant.
In connection with his interest in the agricultural industry, he became prominent in activities of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association.
Held State Offices
He served first as state inspector of weights and measures, then as secretary of the board of state institutions, under Thomas E. Campbell as governor.
He was in the cattle business for a time, during the years 1916 to 1918.
A member of the Arizona Pioneers Association, he took an active interest in the annual Pioneers Reunions conducted by the Arizona Republic. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and of the Shriners.
Surviving are his wife, Elisabeth; one son, W.J. Wingar, Phoenix; and three sisters, Mrs. H.R. Archbald, Los Angeles; Mrs. R.R. Root, Corona, Calif., and Mrs. Alice Gregg, Modesto, Calif.
