Winer, William D. Dr.
23rd Illinois Infantry ("Irish Brigade")
Probably born in Hamilton;
Educated in Hamilton and attended University of Toronto where he received a medical education.
Moved to Chicago where he established a medical practice. Upon outbreak of the war, he joined the 23rd Illinois Infantry ("Irish Brigade") as a surgeon.
He perished in the infamous Great Fire of Chicago. He was the uncle of William Winer Cooke and is buried in the Hamilton City Cemetery.
The following paragraph refers to the son of Mr. John Winer, of this city, who is at present on a visit to his friends prior to engaging in the service:
SURGEON OF THE IRISH BRIGADE--Dr. William D. Winer, of this city, has been appointed by Colonel Mulligan, Surgeon to the Irish Regiment. This we consider one of the best appointments that could have been made. Dr. Winer is in every respect competent for the duties of that position. He graduated at the University of Toronto in 1851, and afterwards, having passed the examination before the Medical Board, was appointed Surgeon to the State Hospital, New York, and held that post of "Senior House Surgeon" to that extensive Institution for three years; on leaving which, he went to Paris and got a diploma from the Imperial College there. He came to Chicago in '56, and has made quite a reputation in this city. We congratulate the Brigade on having acquired the services of so competent a medical officer.--[Chicago Journal.
