Patriarch John Tingey, for Many Years Bishop of the Seventeenth Ward, and an Untiring Church Worker, Answers the Final Summons
Patriarch John Tingey, an old-time resident of this city, and for many years Bishop of the Seventeenth ward, passed into the sleep of eternity at 10:45 Sunday morning, at the family residence, 130 north Second West street, the cause of death being old age and general debility. The deceased had been ailing only for a few days and his death was somewhat unexpected. The funeral will be held in the Seventeenth ward meetinghouse tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1 p.m.
John Tingey, fifth Bishop of the Seventeenth ward, and later a Patriarch in the Salt Lake stake of Zion, was the son of George Tingey and Charlotte Judd, and was born at Colmworth, Bedfordshire, England, Dec. 27, 1821. While a child, his father went to Australia, where he is supposed to have been killed by natives; his mother returned to her former home in Northamptonshire, where John learned the shoemaker's trade. He was baptized at Irchester, Northamptonshire, March 11, 1845, by Peter Sheffield; was ordained to the office of a Priest July 12, 1846, and to that of an Elder Nov. 2, 1847; labored as an Elder in the Irchester branch of the Bedfordshire conference until he was called to preside over the same, March 11, 1849. He acted in the latter capacity until he emigrated to Utah with hhis wife, Phebe Stafford, of Sutton-Bassett, Northamptonshire (whom he had married June 27, 1847, at Wellingborough, Northamptonshire), and one child; crossed the Atlantic in the ship "Joseph Badger," which sailed from Liverpool Oct. 17, 1850, remained in St. Louis, Missouri, about 17 months; crossed the plains in 1852, arriving in Salt Lake City Sept. 1st of that year, where he has resided ever since.
Bishop Tingey passed through all the hardships incident to early days in Utah, and participated in the Echo canyon expedition in 1857. He acted as a ward teacher for about 20 years; was ordained a Seventy by Lysander Gee, Feb. 16, 1853, and joined the Seventeenth quorum; was set apart as one of the council of said quorum Nov. 1, 1874. April 20, 1876, he was ordained a High Priest by Presiding Bishop Edward Hunter, and set apart to act as first counselor to Bishop John Henry Smith, of the Seventeenth ward, occupying that position until Nov. 6, 1880; when he was ordained and set apart by Presiding Bishop Edward Hunter as Bishop of that ward. He was ordained a Patriarch Sept. 13, 1896 by President Wilford Woodruff, and was honorably released from his labors as a Bishop. His wife died Oct. 23, 1890. In 1893 he made a visit of a few months' duration to his native country.
He is the father of eight children, of whom five are now alive, they being in the order of their ages, Mrs. W. P. Nebeker, Joseph S. Tingey of the "News," Charles S. Tingey, state auditor, Frank S. Tingey of Z.C.M.I. and Mrs. Edward L. Sloan, all of this city.
Bishop Tingey was a man of strong character, although quiet and unassuming in his nature. He was of a kindly disposition and had many friends but no enemies. Secretly he sought out the wayward and pointed them to a better life, and in this he was signally successful, especially among the boys and girls. He will be sorely missed by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
He, at age 29, his wife, 26 year old Phebe, and their infant daughter, Marintha Althera, sailed aboard the ship Joseph Badger from Liverpool. They departed 17 October 1850, arriving in the Port of New Orleans on 23 November of the same year.
