Orlin Aaron Wineman contracted the flu in 1918. His oldest daughter, Ethel Columbia Wineman had come to check on him at noon. Shortly after returning home, Ethel was washing clothes with one of the first electric washing machines when a neighbor came over to tell her that her father died. Ethel was so shocked about the news that she nearly fainted and grabbed onto the machine for support. The washing machine delivered an electric shock to her and the baby. The baby died and was still born. The baby girl was buried in a small coffin that was placed on top of Orlin Wineman's at Auburn City Cemetery, in Auburn, Illinois. Ethel was always quick to correct when anyone spoke of her "nine children", she would retort "No, there were ten of them". Also, it is little known that Orlin and his family were accomplished free masons. They actually used to hold meeting above his father's store in Auburn.
