Her husband is one of the early pioneers of this county, having lived here since 1848, and is reputed to be one of the wealthiest men in the county. Mrs. Lang was born at Grandview, Ia., about 67 years ago, and was united in marriage at that place to Mr. Lang. In 1862 they removed to near Wilton, where they have since resided. She is survived by her husband and seven children, Will Lang, cashier of the Wilton Savings bank, Mrs. W. J. Miller, of Wilton, Mrs. Rolla Herr, of near Wilton, Henry, at Grandview, Ben, Louis and George at home.
