JOHN A. WINKLER PASSES AWAY
An Esteemed and Respected Citizen
The death of the venerable John A. Winkler, who has long been ill with the infirmities of age, occurred at his late home at Haverhill, Ohio, last evening, at 8:00 o'clock. His death was not unexpected, as he had failed rapidly in the last week, and his relatives had all been apprised that the end was near. Three of his children were able to reach home before the final dissolution came.
John Asher Winkler was born November 6, 1820, at Harrisonville, Scioto county, Ohio, his father being Asher Winkler, his mother Rebecca Rockwell, and has resided practically all his life within the county. In early life he was identified with the iron industry of the country, and by his energy succeeded in amassing a modest fortune. About 1860, he began the life of a farmer, purchasing a home at Haverhill, and removing his family there, where he has ever since resided.
In 1824, he was married to Cynthia Chandler, who for thirty four years was his constant companion, preceding him to the Great Beyond on November 30, 1876.
To this union were born eleven children, nine of whom grew to maturity; two, Asher and Ellis, died in infancy; Margaret Ellen; Alice, the wife of Henry Hailey; and Mary, the wife of J. C. Cadot, dying some years ago. Three sons and three daughters survive. They are Stephen C., of Hanging Rock, Ohio; Joseph and George, of Aurora, Mo.; Ruby, wife of John A. Oakes, of Portsmouth; Emma B., wife of Samuel Crickenberger, of Haverhill; and Lennie K., wife of J. F. Seaman, of Chicago.
Two sisters, Mrs. Mary Feurt, and Mrs. Margaret Lambert, of Wheelersburg; twenty eight grandchildren, and three great grandchildren also survive.
Some years after the death of his first wife, he was married to Mrs. Lucy O. Adair, of Wheelersburg, who died July 12, 1892.
After the death of his wife, his grand daughter Myria A. Hailey whom he had reared from infancy, presided over his home; after her marriage in 1895 to Frank A. Henry, another grand daughter, Mayme E. Oakes was his constant companion, and remained with him until her marriage to Burr R. Wright of Peebles, two years ago. To these two grand daughters he was much endeared, appreciating greatly their devotion to him in his declining years, and their welfare was ever his earnest solicitation.
Ever since his removal to Haverhill, he has been an earnest and sincere member of the Methodist church at that place, over being one of its stanch supporters. He lived to see all of his children and a number of his grand children identify themselves with the church of his choice.
His life was spent in looking to his children's welfare, and he lived to see them all established in comfortable homes of their own. Truly his was a noble life whose influence will be felt long after he is known no more in the community of which he has been so many years a resident.
No definite arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral pending the arrival of relatives from Chicago and Aurora, Mo., but the services will probably be held Thursday afternoon from his late residence and the interment will be at the Haverhill cemetery.
