Was born in Berkeley county, Virginia, September 27, 1829. He came with his father, Edward Winning, also a native of Berkeley county, Virginia, to this county, when he was about twelve years of age, and located six miles north of where Slater now stands. He was raised and educated, principally, in this county. On the 26th of January, 1854, he was married to Miss Mary A. Rogers daughter of Thomas Rogers, one of the old settlers of Saline, and they have four children: Louisa A., John L., William E. and Maud E. In 1864 he enlisted in the Confederate army, during Price's last raid through the state, in Marmaduke's escort company. He was present at nearly all the fights of the retreat, but as he was one of the unarmed, he could take no active part. At the crossing of the Little Osage, near Ft. Scott, he was captured with General Marmaduke. He was taken to St. Louis, then to Alton , Illinois, and after the surrender, was released and came home, and at once resumed his farming business.

A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given.
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven."
