Although Mr. Billing had been ill for several years, he was feeling well on the Monday of his death and remarked about it. Mrs. Billing left him sitting on the porch of their home and went inside. When she returned her husband was missing but was soon located in the farmyard, having fallen and died in a heart attack.
Mr. Billing was a native of New Richland. He was born on the farm of his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John Billing, Sept. 14, 1890. He grew up here and was united in marriage Nov. 22, 1911 with Miss Maria Schendel.

Surviving also are six brothers and one sister: John of Lisbon, N. D., Ernest of Detroit Lakes, August of Oregon, William, Emil and George and Mrs. Julius Schlaak of New Richland.
