LIFE LONG RESIDENT LAID TO REST SUNDAY
Funeral services for Henry Winter, a life long resident of this vicinity, who died Wednesday evening of last week, was held at the Melbourne Evangelical church, Sunday afternoon under the direction of Rev. L. J. U. Smay, pastor of that church. Rev. W. E. Ellison, pastor of the Methodist church at Hinton, delivered the sermon. The funeral was attended by a multitude of neighbors and old friends of Mr. Winter and their esteem for the departed was visualized by the presence of the great throng.
Music was rendered by a mixed quartet from the Melbourne and Hinton churches. Interment was made in the Melbourne cemetery.
Following is the obituary which was written by a friend of the deceased: The Hinton community was shocked Wednesday evening by the sudden demise of Henry Winter. Although Mr. Winter had long been a sufferer with a weak heart, his constantly cheerful disposition caused his relatives and friends to hope that he might be spared yet a few years longer. Wednesday afternoon
with his wife and daughter he motored to Sioux City, returning about 6 o'clock. He put away the car, and while the ladies were upstairs he came in and lying upon the sofa, passed away almost instantly. Although Mrs. Winter and Adelia came down almost as soon as he came in, he was unable to speak and his poor weak heart had ceased to beat.
Henry Winter, son of John and Regina Winter, was born October 10, 1865, on the farm east of Hinton where he has spent all his life except four years at Beaver City, Nebr.
He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church at LeMars, in which faith he continued steadfast unto the end. He was married to Miss Emma E. Bender, February 12, 1890. A son, John C., at 14 years and a daughter, Edna, at 3 years preceded him and await him over younder. He is survived by
Mrs. Winter and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Barnes of Long Beach, Calif., and Miss Adelia, and four grandchildren, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, also by three brothers, John, Philip and Dietrich, and two sisters, Mrs. T. F. Newton and Mrs. Eli Marlor, all of Beaver City, Nebr. Mrs. Barnes and the
children visited a few weeks ago in the parental home and Mrs. Barnes is attending the funeral. Their visit was a great blessing and comfort to Mr. Winter.
A host of other relatives and friends sympathize with the bereaved family and join with them in mourning the loss of a true, loving husband and father, a sterling citizen, and a well beloved neighbor and friend. Mr. Winter took commendable pride in his ideal family, and great enjoyment in his splendid home. Indeed it should be said of this man that he lived his life untouched by the petty annoyances of human frailties, a blessing in his own home and a friend to everyone.
Mr. Winter witnessed almost the entire development of northwest Iowa from its early beginning to its present high state of civilization, contributing his share to the marvelous growth of nearly three quarters of a century. For
many years he had been a sufferer from the cardiac weakness but undeterred by its constant threat of sudden doom he faithfully carried on to the end.
Precious memories will ever live in the hearts of both relatives and neighbors.
