Father Winter
1837 he was elected the first president of the " village of Adrian. " He afterwards carried on an ashery, but was in no business for some years before his death, August 12, 184. 7, after a married life of forty-seven years.
While writing this, I am reminded by his only surviving daughter, of the obituary notice it was my lot to write, as editor of the Michigan Expositor, part of which I here quote, as I could now give no better epitome of his character. It was no fulsome praise, designed to please his bereaved friends, but the simple truth, which I knew my readers would heartily endorse. I knew the man!
