Father Winter
Soon after, the society erected a very fine church, for those days, on Maumee street, which has since been remodeled and enlarged. The old building was occupied for some time by the Episcopalians, and afterward as a carpenter's shop, and burned but a few years since.
Mr. Winter was now settled in his new home, with his children around him. He possessed a moderate competence, and for two years engaged in no business. In 1836 he took a contract on the Erie & Kalamazoo Railroad, then building from Toledo to Adrian—the first railroad built west of Buffalo.
