This ferry below the rips was kept by old Reuben Wing , the husband of "Aunt Priss Wing ," a somewhat famous personage in the early history of Livermore ; and the writer has it by tradition that Dea. Livermore gave Wing a lot of land on the east side of the river to keep the ferry for the accommodation of those wishing to pass, who also paid their ferriage.
