Father Winter
Mrs. Winter survived her husband, surrounded by her children, grand children and great-grandchildren, with the warm regard of all who knew her, till September 11, 1864, when, at the age of eighty-six, she fell asleep to join her husband in a better world.
After what has been said, the reader need not be told that Mrs. Winter was a remarkable woman. Her energy, her patience and endurance under mental and physical strain were simply wonderful. A little woman, her sons were stalwart men, and her daughters above the average height of women. She had an "opinion of her own, " and firmness in maintaining it, yet in a manner so gentle and with a heart so kind, that a collision with others was rare. Her mind was active till near the close of life.
